ESKOM’S SHOCKING BILLION-RAND LIE EXPOSED! While the bankrupt state utility pats itself on the back for a measly 73,500 “smart” meter installations—a pathetic 12% of its target—it is quietly preparing a MASSIVE, UNAFFORDABLE SURVEILLANCE GRID aimed at SPYING on YOU and CUTTING YOUR POWER at the click of a button. This isn’t about ending load reduction; it’s about TOTAL CONTROL.
Behind the technocratic façade, a DEEPLY DISTURBING truth emerges: Eskom LOST a STAGGERING R30 BILLION last year to so-called “theft,” a crisis THEY created through decades of corruption and failure. Now, their solution is to make HONEST, bill-paying citizens pay the price, forcing them onto a system that will monitor their EVERY WATT and punish them for the crimes of others.
EVEN MORE SHOCKING? Parliament grilled Eskom executives, who ADMITTED they have NO FINAL COST, NO FINALIZED PROCUREMENT, and NOT ENOUGH METERS for their insane plan to spy on 6.2 million homes. This is a MULTI-BILLION-RAND BOONDOGGLE with no budget, proven ONLY to benefit connected contractors while YOU face the threat of remote disconnection.
Minister Ramokgopa boasts these devices will enable “real-time management,” a chilling euphemism for a dystopian future where a failed state utility can peer into your private consumption and decide when you deserve electricity. This is the final phase of the collapse: when those who destroyed the system arm themselves with the digital tools to become its tyrannical enforcers.
The grid is being weaponized against the people it was meant to serve. Are you ready to live in a smart-metered cage?
