Excuse a load of nonsense

WITH regard to our latest Eskom crisis all I can say is what utter rubbish. Coal has always stood out in the rain.

Believe it or not during the previous "regime" it rained just as hard as it does now and load-shedding was something that had not even been thought of.

The utility was then in the business to sell electricity which obviously Eskom is not now. What business tells its customers not to use too much product as it can't make enough?

As I understand it, coal is wetted before being crushed and wetted again before feeding it into the boilers. Why can the truth never be told – does Eskom think that we all have "stupid" written across our foreheads?
