A country in the Dark

A country in the Dark

Not so long ago we were told by a giddy looking president that soon we will forget that loadshedding even existed - as him and his team usher South africa into a new era of economic growth and prosperity!

Since then power availability had plumeted - children are again doing their homework by candle light - the economy bleeds billions per day as a result of the energy problem - 32% of south Africans are jobless - the list of woes goes on - hardly the utopia of prosperity and value our president promissed us! We are again back at level 4 this morning - and sadly it could be worse - which has me in Mac Donalds - with a warm cup of coffee writing this.

The main problem is not just that everyone needs a generator - but that these are expensive to run - while general commercial generators are not made for such continious use and thus breaks down regularly - needing costly repairs. Alternative solutions is definitely the cry on every South African lip - as we face the spectre of level 6 and 8 load shedding - set to desimate our way of life - and making a laughingstock of the promisses of upliftment and value that the SA poor was fed for decades!

We at Weaver Merchant and Trade - partnered with the South African Alternative Enery Association (SAAEA) to ensure we have reliable partners to advise on alternatives - and provide financial solutions to enable the installation of these - in order to give you the peace of mind in knowing that you are protected against these clear risks.

Our financial solutions are tailored to ensure effective replacement of growing Eskom cost - with reliable alternatives to ensure productivity and value.

It is evident that we can all keep relying on Eskom and our government to resolve the energy problem - but it will just take too much frustration and Mac Donalds coffee to be Frank ( No matter how tasty the Mac Donalds coffee is). It has become time to rely on ourselves for the fullfilment of our destiny.

For more information on energy finance - and solutions available from SAAEA and its members - Phone Chris Scholtz on 079 360 5903 - or mail me on [email protected]
