Was it Netanyahu who sang "Bring me my machine gun" or was it a South African president?
It also wasn't an Israeli soldier who sang "One settler, one bullet".
It also wasn't an Israeli opposition leader who sang "Kill the boer".
None of those songs are deemed genocide in SA.

You are a liar.
10 years ago Eskom was delivering 35 000 MW. Today Eskom delivers 24 000 MW.
The current challenges of power outages, are because the ANC has widened the provision of such services, through its social security net.
The ANC has implemented the biggest electricity roll out, in the country.

Hidden away in Eskom's load shedding announcement was 6 (SIX) generating units, totalling 3113 MW failed some time over the weekend.

Failed? No, sabotaged. The thieves are back at work looking for a payday.
