Right now, despite the +30,000MW generation (it's actually approximately 42,000MW), SA is on power rationing for up to 11 days per month. This is not the first time South Africans are experiencing rolling blackouts. Because their plants are old and require some renovation. 1900MW is not enough only around 15% of Kenya is lit up. @murchr you seem to be living in the past... As at 2014 more than 25% of Kenya is on the grid with plans to take this to 70% by 2020! Mark 12:29

No wonder they have huge plants and factories vs our light industrial plants. We have a long way to go! I concur. Long, long way. Tujikakamue kabisa The harder you work, the luckier you get

As seen from space, SA is quite 'enlightened', also Tunisia, Northern Algeria and Morocco, we do have quite a long way

South Africa electricity is swallowed by the huge power-gobbling industries. All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.

South Africa consumes more than half of the total electricity generated in the continent. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

We need more industries to gobble up power. Glad to hear a couple of diary plants are coming into the mix soon http://www.businessdaily.../-/g3kljdz/-/index.html
plus malls... when this stock issues a higher dividend it will explode

Also being joined by Deepak Kamani of Anglo leasing scam. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

They should focus more on reducing power and revenue losses otherwise new capacity and electricity charges will kill us...if they can increase the revenue collection rate lets say maybe to 70%...cash flows will significantly improve...the company would then reduce its borrowings and then perhaps improve the dividend per share paid to shareholders...connecting connecting customers to the grid like that when there is work to be done on efficiency does not excite me...

As one captures more customers the 80/20 rule still applies. 80% of the revenues/profits come from the 20% top customers BUT the costs to connect/supply/maintain the 80% of the rest is going to cost more. *Fingers Crossed* Greedy when others are fearful.

 Closing price of 18.15, A short term correction seems imminent or a rally towards 20. In the world of securities, courage and patience become the supreme virtues after adequate knowledge and a tested judgment are at hand.
