Who is "we", Thabang?
What makes you think that you can speak for me or anyone else apart from
yourself?
You come across like a renegade and a demagogue. Maybe that's what you are.
If you want to advocate your renegade message, just do it, straight.
Then we can debate.
Please don't come preaching like a prophet.

Why only 1million by 2O14 solar installation? Is it because of cost? what are
the cost of constructing, running and decommissioning a coal power station
including hidden cost to people, soil, water, air, climate, animals and plants.
Why still piloting solar when government agrees that we are heading for
blackouts, climate change catastrophy, water shortages, soil erossion etc? And
the technology have so many proven advantages for the working class and
poor.who benefits from the present energy markert in sa? Why government put
more money on degerous energy solutions than to those that put the interests of
the working class and poor? It is a fact that the world bank loan will finance
these dirty short sighted solutions. What need to be done is aggressive,
radical progressive and just transision to renewable energy solutions that will
put the interest of the working class and poor first before those of the
profiteers. We must ask these questions, demand answers, expose the lies,
promote sustainable alternatives, but we also need to educate ourselves,
organise and agitate for real shift to take place. Shift that will bring about
a system based on the needs of the majority of people and nuture that we depend
on for survival of human kind and not profits of the few. It is a shame that
the african national congress stands to benefit from the coal power
construction that will have long lasting impacts on the working class, the poor
and the environment. It is a shame that sa have taken a world bank loan that
future generations will have to service. We have really become a place of
borrowers. Sa have consciously opted for a long term debt that could become
similar to that of the arms deal. We must always ask ourselves who benefits and
who suffers? Look at the benefits thrown at us against those of prfiteers. The
struggle for economic, social, political, cultural etc justice can not be
separated from the struggle for socialism because it is the logical answer to
the self inflicted capitalist crisis.
