When Blacks Are In-Charge, Part 2: Corruption, Stupidity, Crimes, Failure & Suffering
When Blacks Are In Charge -- Crime, Corruption, Violence, Collapse
From White Supremacy to Black Supremacy in S. Africa
The African National Congress (ANC), a social-democratic political party in the country, warned that the country could become a "failed state."
An economic crisis is worsening, and extended rolling blackouts have been the norm over the last several months, but in the last week, multiple major railways have ground to a halt due to rampant theft of power cables.
Bloomberg said a 535-mile rail line used to haul iron ore and manganese from Kumba Iron Ore Ltd.'s giant Sishen mine in the Northern Cape province to west coast ports was paralyzed on Tuesday after criminal organized gangs stole power cables used to power electric locomotives.
Transnet SOC Ltd., the state-owned entity that operates the line, wrote in a statement:
"Security teams were immediately activated and are working with law enforcement agencies, stakeholders and customers to curb this security threat.
"Our employees will be working around the clock to get services back to normal and get customers' cargo moving as soon as possible."
The 535-mile rail line is the second to be vandalized by theft within a week. This time last week, a 428-mile rail line from the Port of Durban to Gauteng province had capacity significantly reduced due to "theft, vandalism, and rail damage" by gangs.
It was briefly shut after the theft of 11 spans of wire triggered a power failure on Tuesday, according to Transnet SOC Ltd., the state-owned entity that operates the line. It’s reported back on line now.
Disgraceful, classless, and shameless.
