I'm happy to join those who are sharing the good news about Brandonkaren11 I'm not persuading anyone to trade with her but i advise every investor to make the right choice when it comes to Bitcoin mining i got my withdrawal safely without any interruption

When will Eskom recover from the lower stages, whoever owes Eskom should pay, we are getting blackout but we use prepaid electricity. Pay Eskom please.

i love it it make my case more to eskom

The Worst Job at Eskom currently is the Supervisors of the Artisan-Technical Teams that must be saddled with Incompetent Artisans The Necessary Skills for Welders is very Specialized and Boilermakers must be Trade Tested Artisans if Not then that's the Problem with Maintainance

Whatever

We should just ask, how much capacity did we have in 1994 and how much capacity do we have now? Population irrespective.

Ramaphosa is scared of Pravin Gordhan & André de Ruyter shame
