South Africa energy crisis could lose ANC government’s majority – BBC News

Published

on



South Africa could become a “failed state”, a senior official of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) has said.

The admission by ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula comes as South Africa experiences power cuts, known as load-shedding, of up to 10 hours a day.

The country is also battling high levels of corruption, all of which has damaged confidence in the ANC government.

    We need independent power stations, we are tired of State owned enterprises, they are irrelevant and only promote corruption, we need to privatize our essential economic vehicles…

    If the government collapses, the Russians are right there, licking their chops and ready to take over.

    Maybe an exploration into using clean energy like solar, wind and other ways could be discussed.

    I'm from zambia and i can relate this happened in my country where loadshedding that sometimes would last up to 10 hrs caused frustration among the locals and they decided to vote out the previous government that was becoming incompetently corrupt and so they did 2 years ago. Hope the same thing should be done in SA next year.

    Unfortunately what man learns from History is that nobody learns from History itself. In the mean while the ANC has the audacity to "F**k "Up the country in a wholesale manner…There is certainly no shame on their part to what they've done…it's business as usual…?

    There no which way but loose. Have no fear, for them Barbarians have no respect for the living, nor do they have any reverence for life either. Especially in Cape Town where I used to live. Especially if U don't "move in the right circles", U have a good chance of coping it. Cos, if U really want to check see the morality of a country then U must look at how they treat their women and children… It's Absolute in a despeakable, to say the least.

    Rubbish. People forget how docile and accepting of fate the indigenous Bantu is. It will blame apartheid for its problems and God for its fate, but it will ALWAYS vote ANC. How other countries' political parties mush wish for such stupid sheeple to lead.

    They only have themselves to blame the amount of corruption going on in our once beautiful thriving country is obscene and criminal
    I am so glad I left when I did 13 years ago even then load shedding was going on but not to this extent I bet the criminals are committing crimes by torch and candlelight due to having no power how are kids supposed to study at night in the dark that’s who I feel bad for I knew this was going to happen eventually I hate to say it but I told you so there is a solution solar power and wind power get rid of the coal burning power stations and bring some overseas power supply companies in to give eskom some competition
    But the government will do nothing because they love the money to much that they are siphoning off eskom
    ANC made their beds now lie in them

    who would have thought a one-party state with a monopoly on energy would lead to decades of corruption and widespread failure? unlike north korea they have a vote next year let's see if they f it up

    Not only do South Africans suffer the hated power cuts because of the failure of Eskom , the streets nationwide are riddled with potholes. Rhe railways are decimated , rhe economy is on a downward spiral , unacceptable lwvel of unemployment, all forms of violwnt crimes onthe increase, high level of inflation abd many people depending on grants. Our countey is qicky becoming a failed State. 1e need to vote for a party that has at least proved that it can turn things around like in the Western Cape, the DA.

    Nitish Kumar's son has no political history, neither of running the government, nor has he ever contested college elections, nor does his son have any political history of being a ward councillor. If he directly contests for Chief Minister, then what will happen to the public?

    There is NOTHING WRONG with ESKOM! How can they voluntarily stop load shedding for world cup and after we win its magically back again? So they were prepared to risk the grid collapsing for Siya Kolisi? It is all about PRIVATISATION! IPPs will be introduced and therefore the entire MONOPOLY has been won! 👎👎👎👎👎👎

    ANC sole job is to loot the economy and all state resources. Law and order does not exist, criminals run the country. Borders are open to criminals from all over the world,

    Tell me if I'm wrong but, South Africa went into a mess when apartheid ended, after the indigenous population took over, the country has gone steadily towards chaos. We don't want to talk about this because it's racism.

    South Africa, like many other African countries, has for some reason changed its European colonial masters to Chinese and Russian colonial masters. somehow it seems that Africans themselves do not know how to manage their continent.

    Gosh, the energy crisis is the last straw!
    There are so many other areas of wrongdoing that the power crisis broke the camels back!

‘Is Anthropic the new Dr Frankenstein?’ | BBC News

Published

on



AI Decoded speaks to leading tech podcaster Scott Galloway about the growing controversy surrounding Anthropic’s latest AI model, Claude Mythos.

During testing, the system uncovered thousands of hidden vulnerabilities in the software underpinning most of the world’s computers — prompting Anthropic to decide it was too dangerous to release.

The company says Mythos can outperform humans at certain hacking and cyber‑security tasks, raising fresh concerns among regulators, lawmakers and financial institutions about the risks to global digital infrastructure.

Also on the show, we reveal how US students are changing their majors at university in order to ‘AI proof’ their future careers and how nearly half of Gen Z would like to turn back the clock to the late 90’s before AI was even a thing.

Joining Christian Fraser is the BBC’s AI correspondent Marc Cieslak and AI Decoded co-host Priya Lakhani.
