Councils that pay their electrical bills are less likely to get blackouts. Being law abiding is not a racial thing! Councils owe millions to eskom. Why is this guy not mentioning the debt that councils have (especially rural councils) due to the corrupt polititians? What would you do if you were a business that had some customers (councils) that pay and others not, you would cut the non paying customers' credit. It is up to the population to stand up against the corrupt goverment, and start electing people that will pay the council bills, not stick it in their pockrts or buy another range rover.

There is definitely a way store renewable energy, how do you think EV vehicles do it? Rechargeable batteries. Tesla has gone one step further, they've set up a solar plant which takes energy from the sun, converts it into electric energy, stores it in Rechargeable batteries and distributes where its necessary. Now you're talking, no infrastructure yes, but humans should have realised this long ago, everything needs fixing, renewing, everything dies, so if SA spent the little money had on repair and upkeep of said infrastructure, I'm sure load shedding would be diminished from 6 times a day to 6 times a year, with it being a simple replacement of a shoddy instrument. Again you've touched on the cause, corruption. Stealing from your family is terrible! And leads to things like this.

It's laughable that they blame Apartheid for the electricity crisis when the apartheid government GAVE the ANC multiple mothballed power stations that could be de-mothballed when demand rose because the ANC connected a bunch of electricity thieves in Soweto. They literally bought them 10 years of added time for free. Power stations can be constructed in under 3 to 5 years, so with good management, this electricity crisis was totally unnecessary.

If all the coal burning steam-electric generating units in South Africa had an availability of 85% (normal western standards), there would be no load shedding. Instead, corruption and affirmative action have rotted out the competence level of Eskom, and Eskom stations have an availability of 50% and falling. Hence load shedding.

4:02 is it still racist when the politicians are also black? No it is a class based prejudice. Poor people are being denied power. Rich people (who might be white or black although probably white) are receiving preferential access to power. The same is probably true of businesses and manufacturers. Is this racism when it is being used by black politicians and officials or is it simply corruption? An unfortunately equal opportunity endeavor.

Maybe if the politicians used the tax money to develop and update the power supplies and the country in general, instead of eating foie gras, things wouldn't be so bad? I'm not from South Africa, so what would I know, but I imagine the corruption to be quite severe at this point. And absolutely, I understand the transition after the apartheid ended must've been very hard to adjust to, but instead of chasing the white population away, embracing the knowledge which they possessed would be a wiser move to educate the future generations. But still, I understand. You wouldn't make friends with the devil immediately.
