After nearly a month of use, I formally vouch for this product Gizzu 296. Paid R4,700 on Black Friday but range from R5,500-R9,000 so shop wisely. Slams 4hr loadshedding with 40% battery spare with 65cm TV, AppleTV & Soundbar with subwoofer. Runs desktop PC or iMac 27" for 6 hrs.

R200Bn 1,000Mw Karpowership or R28Bn Solar Plant? SAโ€™s largest solar plant is 175Mw Solar Capital De Aar Project in NC. It took 28 months to construct the entire facility at a cost of R4.8 billion. To build 1,000Mw solar should thus cost R28Bn or 1.4yrs worth of Karpower costs.

So now the terms "irregular", "wasteful" and "fruitless" expenditure are not accounting terms. We need to borrow a bucketload to bail ESKOM out of trouble but nobody will lend to us if they see how wasteful we are so we just stop reporting wasteful expenditure. Superior logic.
