Great topic, please bring a credible scientist to provide clarity on the decisions made she has communicated. She skips through the questions and provides high level answers because she doesn't know or has subjectively interpreted it. She has said she does not know way to many times, this means she doesn't know much. Please bring someone who's specialized along her.

I don't disagree with you when you're saying certain individuals or communities don't deserve electricity. This is coming from a point of privilege on your part. Basically, you are saying the poor should remain poor and not have an opportunity to elevate themselves.This would be at a deteriment to abuntu. What people choose to do with their priviledge is upto them. Water, electricty, education, healthcare these are basic needs which i believe shouldn't be accessible at a price to people via private providers nogba it won;t be accessible to many. Point of government is to mitigate and manage the intricacies involved la. There have nots have more power then the haves this would just be a catalyse to disaster.

Penuel makes her break it down like we're 5 by asking follow up questions if she hasn't broken it down like we're 5... It's the skill of understanding that even though he might understand what she is saying... He has an audience that might not... It's one of the art of interviewing he has mastered, engaging his audience by understanding it's not about him or how smart or how fast he grasps they're answers but about if the audience listening is doing the same...

She speaks about invitations from North Americans for movies and we know how those people are great contributors of where we find ourselves currently. I wish I could elaborate further but Eish!!!!

Malema spoke about nationalization of resources and we went against him. As a youth of this country we need to focus our minds on such topics, we getting ripped off kancane kancane. I'm from Soweto but I moved to Cape Town and there's no load shedding here unless you stay in the townships. I'm at the higher institution of learning where all these technologies are being tested and approved but I've never heard a conversation about such topics amongst our young leaders and students. All we are fighting for is NSFAS and that's the biggest destruction again put in front of the students. And I don't blame anyone for that but these systems that are put in place. Young South Africans are not competitive to the world, they are just influenced by the western culture and that's very worrying because we still going to slave. Lafa elihle kakhulu. 😢😢

Africa's development will have to find a way of leap frogging when it comes to technology and engineering.
