EXCLUSIVE: ESKOM’S CRIMINAL DOUBLE STANDARD! While boasting 266 days without load shedding, the utility is SECRETLY TORTURING poor communities with targeted blackouts. Over 140,000 South Africans are HUMAN SACRIFICES to a corrupt system.
Load reduction is NOT a technical fix—it’s a DELIBERATE ACT OF ECONOMIC TERROR. Eskom selectively plunges ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS into darkness, punishing poverty while the wealthy bask in uninterrupted power. This is APARTHEID by other means, a chilling blueprint for CONTROL.
The so-called ‘solution’ is a DRACONIAN SURVEILLANCE STATE: 300,000 smart meters installed, with 577,347 targeted by 2026. These devices are WEAPONS, spying on citizens and criminalizing desperation under the guise of ‘infrastructure protection.’
But the truth is BLOODY: installation teams face VIOLENCE and intimidation, with 122,000 meters delayed. This is a WAR ZONE, where communities FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL against a state that treats them as enemies.
Eskom’s ‘progress’ is a SHAM. Gauteng drags its feet, revealing POLITICAL CALCULATION over human need. Meanwhile, the utility CROWS about improved generation and slashed diesel costs—a FINANCIAL WIN built on the BACKS of the suffering.
THE GRIM REALITY
While Eskom saves BILLIONS, 437,000 customers remain in the crosshairs. The summer outlook promises no load shedding, but this is a LIE for millions. The grid is stable ONLY because the poor are FORCED INTO DARKNESS.
Financial reports glow, but the human cost is IGNORED. Diesel expenditure down 43.6%? BLOOD MONEY saved by sacrificing the vulnerable.
Eskom’s summer outlook projects no load shedding, with 5.9GW in cold reserve. Yet THOUSANDS suffer deliberate blackouts—a DISTURBING admission that some lives are deemed expendable.
Eskom will provide its next system update on 13 February. But the only update that matters is this: South Africa is engineering a dystopia where light is a privilege for the elite. This is how apartheid returns: not with laws, but with light switches. – © 2026 NewsCentral Media
