Loadshedding has become a daily menace for our country. To solve this deeply tormenting dilemma a lot of promises have been made that sound very convincing, but no practical implementation is visible. The government is very good at dodging the issue at hand or engaging in meaningless rhetoric to deviate the public from the main issue.
Although there are a lot of options and solutions available, for example the suggestions of the experts include hydro-electric dams, nuclear power plants, solar power, upgrading the distribution network, buying from foreign governments etc, no outcome is seen.
These all maybe good options, but it’s the government’s responsibility to assemble them and put forward a good and permanent solution. We must not except any talk of a better tomorrow unless we see the implementation of a convincing strategy backed by a solid investment.
