From a letter to Eskom staff, by Chief Executive Officer Jacob Maroga:"We are undoubtedly experiencing one of our most difficult periods in Eskom's recent history, as power supply interruptions reach a level that are unprecedented in South Africa.
"As you have heard, the National Response Plan has been announced. In order to implement this plan we need to further intensify and accelerate our performance on demand and supply-side management by bringing critical plant back to service, managing primary energy, reducing demand and improving on communication with all stakeholders - including yourselves."
What the heck is he talking about? Never mind. The fact is, we are all Eskom stakeholders. So grab hold of your stake, just like they do in the vampire movies, and let's march on Megawatt Park, where we can all take turns to plunge our sharpened implements right into the heart of that big computer they use to control the load-shedding.
It won't make the slightest bit of difference, of course, but at least it will make us feel a little better.
