I have a modest proposal that could go a long way towards salvaging the South African economy, and ensuring that the opening ceremony of the 2010 FIFA World Cup does not consist of several thousand people holding candles on the field while singing “My African Dream”.
My suggestion is that Eskom stops supplying electrical power to the city of Cape Town, and diverts it to areas of the country where it is needed for work reasons, such as Johannesburg.
After all, you don’t need electricity to spend all day lying on the beach, or cycling down Chapman’s Peak with your eyes closed.
