First world politics. <p>On the 28th of February 2006 you <a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&#38;click_id=13&#38;art_id=qw1141129262958R131">said</a> the following in relation to the rolling power blackouts that hit Cape Town earlier that year:</p> <blockquote> <p>The investigation is ongoing and we will bring criminal charges against individuals soon</p> </blockquote> Well looking at my desk calendar I notice it&#8217;s almost two months since you said that and I&#8217;m not seeing any arrests being made. So either the investigation: <ul> <li>is ongoing which means it&#8217;s taken that long to interview the few people who had access to the reactor and review security camera footage, which is pitiful on such a high profile and important case.</li> <li>is finished with no arrests being made and therefore was bungled.</li> <li>never really existed in the first place and you were trying to cover your behind for ignoring the warnings about South Africa&#8217;s energy crunch that were right in front of you.</li> </ul> Wed, 19 Apr 2006 07:27:00 -0500 urn:uuid:c65e266a2ec0344b1dd8bfcfc0655bda Farrel http://www.politics.za.net/articles/2006/04/19/reminder-to-alec-erwin Minerals & Energy Western Cape http://www.politics.za.net/articles/trackback/107 <p>What warnings about the energy crunch? <a href="http://dsm.eskom.co.za/images/res_dev_genrl/figr2.jpg">http://dsm.eskom.co.za/images/res_dev_genrl/figr2.jpg</a> (and that is from Eskom&#8217;s own best brains)</p> Wed, 19 Apr 2006 13:55:24 -0500 urn:uuid: http://www.politics.za.net/articles/2006/04/19/reminder-to-alec-erwin#comment-449
