I know you said you do not expect response but truth be told we are not going to keep quite because we are product of the working class. We are not going to glorify Bantustan as if it was a creation of our fathers choice, because history tell you well that it was a forced move and our father for being cowards succumb to this brutal force. Whether you label it whatever its up to you. The issue here which will never go away is how do you assist you own community to plan for the anticipated triple figure increase in municipal determination in July? I does not assist to want to make me feel guilty as to why I went to school. As why I see education and Life Long Learning as the way of living. The fact that I publish my area of expectation on my facebook is not that I am looking for a Job, its that when I want to diversify I will look in the area that I am busy furthering my studies on. However well done for your resort to research on me and you could go on Linkfield or just Google to get to know me better and what do I do most. If you want to do a lifestyle audit there were you start and you will understand some of the issues that seems just at face value. The bottom line just like what we expect to be the case with the Nationalisation, it will come to one fact and one factor alone, the Net Present Value of whatever resource we are targeting. I am saying and by the way I do not copy and paste, I respond to issue based on my expertise, knowledge and skills, which I have horned them over the years. I apologise for simplifying the document such that you do not concentrate on the other parts but the one that will affect you. If you call itcut and paste to explain what al those RED1-6 stand for its unfortunate. We can provide information but we cannot force it to stay in someone skull. Back to the issue, the SA society relies heavily on the Net Energy Surplus over the years and when these resources becomes scarce, the economic come to play. the price goes high to limit your usage and the unfortunate part is that not all citizen have access to this resources. Hence in our quest as the Country to reach Universal Access to Basic electricity, how will we be able to expand the provision without tempering with the quality of supply? Yes energy is required to operate manufacturing, distribution system, like the City of Tshwane and household (which by the way only use 28% of the Net Energy Used). Now like I said the City of Tshwane will want to maintain a +ve Return on Investment for the network at distribution level. Put it the other way, the net energy required to give a +ve ROI is the amount of energy invested to build infrastructure that create jobs. Therefore without energy, the priority of job creation suffer most, while growth will be observed. This strategy or method brings us back to the era of Mbeki's administration, wherein we observed a massive growth and massive job losses. Now the driver for all this activities to happen is electricity that should be paid by someone. Is it correct to want the energy users to pay for the expansion for the future energy needs as we move towards 2014? or should the State take full responsibility and throw the entire new build programme to the tax base that will have to be paid by all including those that do not have access to the very same electricity? Now if you want us to behave as if we are not affect, it unfortunate and for you to continue to call cdes as super members is foreign because, they happened to leaders of the ANCYL in Mahlambandlopfu and nothing stop anyone to be a leader. But in the very same vein, there are no holy cows in the struggle, hence I might have the understanding of this services and the other team member has strength in the other area of governance, auditing, tax etc. Like I said, there is no need to want to make an input from an empty point of view, hence references to National Electricity Pricing Policy of DOE, Development Electricity Pricing, Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP2) of DTI. If when we assist cdes because they are lazy to read will the say we have cut and paste, it fine. Just like most scholars of Capitalism, you continue to believe in the primacy and efficacy of economic growth as the key indicator for system well-being and ignore the other factors such as the level of reserves that are still available to light up your house. I am saying this capitalist tendencies behave in a fashion that seems to suggest that the growth will be endless for their own survival and forget the impact on the masses. This is the role of the ANCYL to expose this false promises disguising as genuine leaders of the working class. You continue to bark at the wrong Tree (me) as oppose to those that pass the tariff (NERSA). If you are genuine in your input you will adopt an approach that seeks to find a common pathways that is focus on common public good, values and practices that define our society on how we conserves the scourge of this energy price hikes. maybe me and you must agree that the party is over, as you continue to tragically portray an inaccurate observations aimed at delaying our ability to develop a response strategy. You continue to paint us with grand delusion that makes us look like we can solve all problems. We have said if we join hand together we will find the solution to the challenges that lies ahead but you display this tendencies of ignorant, overarching inherent systematic limit to your ability to deal with the issue at hand. The issue is how do we make sure there is Supply of Electricity, which affordable. This is what these tariff path are talking to and not some grandest techno-utopian predictions of what will happen at our workplace. Like I said before, this is part of my work, to educate, influence and change consumer behaviour in our quest to instill a culture of saving in SA. Save It, it will be in the interest of the World in our fight against Climate Change. An Energy Advocate for Green Change Netshirofhe Wa Ha-Mutshidza
>>> howard matjomane <[email protected]> 2/26/2010 3:13 PM >>> Eish!Ya! I wasn’t expecting your lecture or say your project presentation on saving electricity and importantly your “most wanted career” which ofcourse is good for you and my sincere congratulations. Your presentation is so slipshod, so loose-joined, so puerile, not alone in literary construction, but in its ugly ideas last seen during Bantustan puppets that died as traitors or madmen.Not of surprise some have found a better place in our ranks and they are extremely confused now. Perhaps let’s not easily forget that majority of the so called comrades recruited in millions in our ranks are the sons and daughters of the Bantustan ministers grewup in the ideology of selfishness and high class “arrogancy”. You failed completely to answer my question hiding behind the “copy and paste research documents” as if I do not have resources.I wondered how you can be part of the congress movement realising fact that you seems to have grasp too much of prestigious schools culture which sees poverty as natural phenomenon. While we may in most instances come to agreee agree on the issue of political labeling but we must be capable of drawing the dermaction lines correct in using explicit labeling as political labeling.I’m million times correct that you wouldn’t yourself agree on labeling that undermines thousands of young people in those trade unions calling their "private parts" in the name of political labeling.Wondering the consequence of your unplanned utterance if your Elite Branch members ,majority are from those you term “drunkards affiliates of Cosatu”.Critical to these is the showcase of your behavior with a rigid,ambitious with too much genius and too little common sense. In my political life, I have labeled many comrades and have been labeled as well , often times in front of general membership.In this game of political labeling I have learned throughout the limitations involve through practical experience when people were shot dead,beaten in the meetings. Thanks and not expecting any reponse.

We have as my responsibilities ensure that the SOE (CSIR) is insulated from the ripple effect of this increase. Over the past 3 years that the CSIR sought my services I have develop a Business Continuity Plan that is interlinked to Sustainable Development and look at ways to reduce our demand by 10% yearly without affecting the operations. When I did this with my team one thing in my mind was the impact I anticipated for the general workers. Researcher just like any specialist or project managers can go to any research body/ other SOEs and they will be fine. The CSIR in its beyond 60 programme did look at the energy portfolio and had to create a dedicated energy management portfolio for this matter. We have been active advisors to the Ministry of Energy, Public Enterprises, Science and Technology and Trade and Industry and knew the magnitude of the leap in tariff increase we are to see in the next 20 years. We have provided our expert opinion on the matter and are confident that with also some dedicated wenergy reserach centres and units, we could not be caught off-guard. By your own admission you think that as an entity we are worried about your insinuations which are cheap, you must go and study the model used to classify yourself in all those categories of RED1 to RED6 in terms of geographical spread of the networks. > > > RED1 (Western and Northern Cape) > RED 2 ( Eastern Cape) > RED3 (Ekurhuleni up to Free State) > RED 4 (JHB up to North West) > RED 5 (KZN) > RED6 (Tshwane up to Limpopo) > > > Having said so there tariff classification that signals that despite the 24.8% and 25% the following year, Munics or distributors in these demarcated areas will have price increase to the range and on top of that is the incremental or Step Tariff that aim to punish those household that use more electricity while there is no such provision for Industrial and Commercial customers who might have long term agreements. Having able to give you an understanding on this matter I hope you will stop insulting us when we genuinely ask you to look at issues that matters most. By the way I am a bread winner, being the 1st born and having enough siblings that are all covered by my policies including incase I get laid off. Which is not gona be the case because I do not boost that I posses critical rare and scarce skills. I could wake up tomorrow and get a job wherever and that opportunity that I have not all members of society has,, I do not look for a job, but the different employers look for my skills and it mean I am not affected but that not the case why I sent this statement to the site. > > Yes this increase will have an impact on the Agririan Reform Programme, it will make it difficult for farmers to produce on large scale as electricity will account for the large portion of their operational costs. This will results in retrenchment affecting families and not mine for that matter. It will make it difficult for a customer who is on the backbone of Municis network to afford to pay for the steep increase that will be adjusted once munics price (including surcharges and admin costs) are added, resulting in massive retrenchments. It will affect all SMMEs, it wil affect the Middle Class most and the poor are still cushioned for the two year period on conditions they remain in their brackets for indegent customers. It will affect you mining house, as they will need to recapitalise the energy or electricity costs somewhere, which might mean labour cut off, it might means hiring you and you brother as cheap labour or brokered such that they do not pay you any benefits and not insults that are unfounded and baseless. > > If indeed you are a reader, you will put the IPAP2 on one side and put NERSA paper on the other and run some model to look at the efficiency of this tariff increase on our industrial policy action plan. The impact is massive, the automotive industry that rely heavily on electricity will be hit worse, the Brits tyre industry will be worse off. > > Claim no easy victory, this is what matters most engage the public, educate them, make them understand such that when Municipalities call for public hearing on their increases towards July 2010, members will be well off.
