Parlez vous francais Patrick?

You don't' need to, you just smile at the French and they approach you in French, you reply in Afrikaans - they're intrigued and switch to English, so do you and voilà, its done. A switcheroo they think they've initiated.

I like the download idea, I'll go for the attack chopper flight programme Trinity did, or no wait, I'll do a F16-fighter jet.

Latest news from Eish-kom:

‘South Africa's power reserves are all but exhausted and rolling blackouts will be an inevitable part of life in the continent's most advanced economy for up to three years, state-run power utility Eskom warned on Thursday.

Eskom Chief Executive Tshediso Matona, who compared the situation to driving a badly maintained car which has almost no fuel left, told a news briefing that margins were razor thin and the loss of just 1,000 megawatts would trigger power outages.’

Sigh, ja boet.

To put in into perspective, extract from article http://businesstech.co.za/news/government/74752/state-owned-company-ceo-salaries/ dated 30 Nov 2014:

According to a parliamentary response to queries about the Eskom executive’s pay, last week, Public Enterprises Minister, Lynne Brown, noted that former Eskom boss, Brian Dames’ total pay for the 2013 financial year was in fact R22.78 million – higher than the R15.6 million listed in Eskom’s full year report.

Dames’ pay included a R5 million package at the end of his contract, R1.9 million in back pay – as well as a R1.92 million payout in long-term incentives.

CEO   Parastatal   Salary (latest financial year)
Brian Dames   Eskom   R22.8 million
