“We know we are going to win tomorrow, but it's in the numbers that we will be able to prove to the Mickey Mouse parties that they will lose. We all know they will lose tomorrow.” boasted Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa said Eskom was plagued by many problems. “When we took over in 1994, many of us did not have electricity. We had candles and paraffin stoves. Today we have electricity in about 95% of households.”
“Another problem is that we get power from Mpumalanga and Limpopo and in many places some people have back rooms and then they need electricity. We find that there is illegal connections,Another problem, said Ramaphosa, was that some people were paying bribes to Eskom employees. “I'm not a police officer, I'm not going to arrest you. But this causes a problem because this overloads the transformers.
Ramaphosa said sometimes even those who could afford electricity connected it illegally. “This is not fair to the poor. I am happy you are aware of the electricity issue because it's easy to blame the load-shedding on the government when some of the problems are caused by our people.” He told the residents the only way the government could attend to their problems would be to ensure that they go out in their numbers to vote for the ANC on Monday.
