It depends on where one is located in the country.

One of my closest friends relocated to a more central region of SA not long ago, and he has been hit hard.

Essentially, we have planned rolling black-outs. The government calls it "loadshedding."

Where I stay, which is on the East Coast we generally have 22 hours of electricity a day.

However, there are areas of the country that have up to 8 hours without electricity.

We may get to a point where things become dire and we wind up having 6 hours of power, but that is not the current situation-- At least where I live.

So there's a bit of exaggeration going on with that caller.

It is said that the reason my neck of the woods gets off lightly is because the ruling party are scared of losing votes here.

There is also violent revolt and mass looting when the people that live in my province don't get what they want.

So I think there's some political play afoot.

I hope that answers your question.

Thanks for the update.

Nope. I live in a suburb.

Me neither. I worked in the city for lots of years, lived in the suburbs. Escaped to the country. Nice and rural.

Master Trollda, just revisting your initial question regarding South Africa being down to 6 hours of electricity a day; perhaps the caller was referring to Zimbabwe (which is technically South Africa).

We supply Zimbabwe with their electricity, and what I heard was that they get a measly 2 hours of power a day. I have family that used to live there. They fled before things got too violent with civil unrest and now live in the U.K.

The thing is, that 2 hour window is apparently only at night. It comes on around 10 o' clock or midnight-- Something like that. Their country is fucked. Beyond repair.

I mean, imagine that! 22 hours without lights a day!!! Many citizens invest in generators that run on petrol. But God damn do those suckers make a lot of noise.

I hate to see it, or even say it, but "Armed gangs attacking South Africa's state-owned infrastructure, disrupting electricity-generating plants to freight-rail lines" smells like CIA agitation. Thoughts?

They hate what you have tried to do to me -that- much, and figure that since I have limitless electric power for free at my home... somehow (word spreads quickly in The African Bush)... they don't need electrical planets either. Or plants. They don't care. Honestly, can they even find South Africa on a map? I don't think so.


And, speaking of "what you have done to me," uhm... who authorized this chickenshit outfit to do all this crap, and what name are they signed in under at the County lock-up? I figure if he was in New York, then... well, anyway, whatevah. I can read just fine, and I simply stress this enough: MASTER of DIVINATION.

Don't make me a Doctor of that. You wouldn't like me if I were a Doctor of Divination. You'd say, "Jack! I thought you were a Doctor of Autodidacticism, not of anything else, are you... are you, HERE AND NOW, CITIZEN, ARE YOU STIPULATING FOR THE RECORD, HARK, CALL A HERALD AND AN ANGEL, I THINK WE FINALLY GOT HIM ON SOMETHING, PASSING HIMSELF OFF AS A FAKE DOCTOR! FINALLY! What kind of scum would do such a thing? Alright, call The Canadindian, they can just shoot him this time... what are you looking at?" And then I'd tell you what I was looking at: a young pup.


Then I'd tell her to lunge for your balls. At that point, I don't know what that young pup would do--because, you know, young, and I'm not Master of fuckin' Pups, now am I? And if I were a Doctor of anything else, it would be a big deal. I still remember when what's-her-face told me that I should get one.

I don't think she knew she was serious. I duitifully applied. ~3  weeks later; boom. Documents drop. She couldn't believe it, so I pretended I couldn't see them either. Now, where was I?

Oh, yeah, at home, waiting for someone to come unabandon me. You twerps don't get it. Sure, I can just leave. Sure, I can cause the place to be sold. Sure, I can start filing papers and getting my money back, blah blah. And at this time, I am not doing that.

I simply would prefer to stay... and if you think I'm going to let either him, or her, or the other her into this place, there is not one fucking chance in Hades I am going to go from Master of the House to Lord of the Underworld... in this place. Nuh-uh. You don't know the half of it. Besides,I don't have to do what you think I have to.

I can cause this house to be sold direct. I can go around The Trustee's Choice, and use Folger's Spacetime Folder's Crystals to sell this goddam place to anyone I so choose, at the minor inconvenience of... well, I don't know what, because I don't wanna do that, however, Spirit assures me, avenues and channels do in fact exist.

You should probably be a little less snooty, Daisy. Laser. Missy. 5^55? Look, you're not scoring any points here. And, I just called out your other friend, and both of you are patently absurd individuals... but at least you're not quite as dumb AS HER WHORE OF A MOTHER. Now, that is what I call dumb.

Because in addition to stealing mail and allowing herself to be replaced by a mudclone (classy), she seems to have thought that I was some kind of problem. Wellllll, maybe I was, And maybe, just maybe, she should have checked with me before making any assumptions.


p.s.: you never get to do drugs with me, ever. Point black period. (eeeeeewww.) You have lost all your fun tickets with me. Mourn the loss, because I just did.


pp.s.: briefly. You can do whatever you want with your real friends, of course, I am not a cruel man. I am a cruel-whoa, wait, what? You don't do drugs and you've never heard of them? Hang on a second.


ppps.: FUCK YOU, MUTTLEY. *dismisses class* You're dismissed as well, although... you should have some class, shouldn't you? You certainly paid enough for it. And I never believed your story, naturally.


it was the exact same story as mine, and at that point, I knew something was rotten in Denmark, and you did too. Now, I'm going to tell Tamara (sup.) who set her up with The Bad Date at Del Taco (yep.) and you're going to suddenly realize that you picked the wrong friend to sacrifice. Because I didn't "doxxx" you at all, now did I?


Where there even any foundational documents? Pfft. Anyway, I am not a magician of information. Remember that.

And if you ever call me a junkie, I might just find out what this whole "IV drugs and rape a bitch" thing entails. This is not a threat--you'd like it, obviously--but then I am sure Tamara would want a turn, and then, well, I guess I'd be off to the races. At some point, you'd lose tenure.

See? No threat at all. Just Special Consequences for Cons & Quinces.

I don't think you are clear on what your Fed bullshit has done to people and when I find the Vengeance Spirit I am literally going to send it on to YOUR MOTHER. I've got one, two, three, four, five, six,  SEVEN dead or dead-to-me people here and you have actually been, Azzerae, YOU literally have been traced to be complicit in their disappearances and/or deaths; B Alpha Sublime is 100% opi8slaved, Phat Hawg (1) One + Phat Hawg (2) are simultaneously blowing up my dreams, my phone, and my ansible, and I'm going to go to (LOC:PROT) right now after I shower, and if Phat Dawg (88k) (neg)(Christ) is there, I will absolutely mack the stuffing out of that broad and I'll fucking drive us out to Tahoe to elope before Dawn if I goddam feel like it, so there.

You have been carelessly irresponsible with the feelings of several people invovled here and I don't give a single ripe wet shit how much you think I am responsible for your endless suffering and torturous financial pain, I will also pass the aforementioned Vengeance Spirit ON TO YOUR MOTHER and I will send via your scrote. I will Authorize Nessecary Matrileneal Progression ALL THE WAY UP to, oh and by the way, David Rubini (/swoon) has called me no less than FOURTEEN TIMES in the past 48hrs.


FOURTEEN TIMES AT LEAST. How many have I answered? Not goddam enough apparently because at this point, Dude, I'm not going to just have you fucking killed--I'll get on a fucking train and take a plane and rent a car and find your goddam bedroom and strangle you in your fucking sleep.

Do not think for a moment that I am incapable of this--just as I have no fucking doubt that you are stupid enough to "accidentally" kill my best friend THREE FUCKING TIMES and then go "oops!" and then laugh and laugh in your acetaminophen-fueled opioid-infected hazy daze of SOON TO BE THE WINTER OF YOUR FUCK AND FUCKING DOOM.


Not kidding: I may just fucking kill you no mattter what happens because you have pissed me off for the very last goddam time today... and it is HALF PAST MIDNIGHT.

your mother DEAd. your family DEA.
You only think you know how pissed I am in this moment, Screm Witch, guess and double thrice, oh, and, by the way: I don't give a shit which Grapefruit you raped and murdered, you better get started on the rest of them you have locked up right now, Bluebeard: as when she discovers what you have ALREADY done in this matter AND OTHERS and as well; that you have DRIVEN ME THIS FAR INTO HYPERBOLE, she is in fact going to lose her biscuits, and I already have a call into Stephen Biscuits, who is probably going to be willing to consider that you murdered Juno.

Either way I am putt thing T.H.E.M. on to YOU: as you clearly have way too much fuckin' free time. (Also your pet ghey is wortheless and weak and I could give a shit what you do next, Tauntaun-dick Breath; you are fucking going down for this.)
