I mean what&#8217;s worse than being the ruling party and contesting elections in the Western Cape, in what promises to be a very tight race, when service delivery has become the focus for the upcoming elections?</p> <p>Why that would be contesting election in the Western Cape with <a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&#38;click_id=13&#38;art_id=vn20060121144747995C833065">rolling power blackouts</a> during the week before elections take place.</p> <p>Can you imagine the screaming match that&#8217;s happening right now between Western Cape Premier Ebrahim Rasool (although considering his lame duck status he may not give a crap) and Eskom <span class="caps">CEO T</span>.S. Gcabashe?</p> <p>Words are being said. Harsh, rude words.</p> Mon, 20 Feb 2006 15:36:00 -0600 urn:uuid:10932c91c469ef6143491e3dc902eadf Farrel http://www.politics.za.net/articles/2006/02/20/blacking-out ANC Western Cape Local Government http://www.politics.za.net/articles/trackback/53
