I’m afraid I’m simply not clever enough to understand how the African though process works.
Up across the border from here in Zimbabwe, they have an even bigger energy crisis than what we are faced with – most people have electricity for no more than 5 hours per day.
Now uncle Bob cooks up a new solution: He says companies should work only at night time when there is more electricity than in daytime.
So, let me get my head around this: Employees are supposed to go to work during daytime when the workplace is closed because they are not supposed to use electricity.
And when the employees go home to sleep, and not use electricity, the workplace should open for the night because there is enough electricity then.
Thus: The employee is at work, but the workplace is closed, and when the employee goes home, the workplace opens.
Yep, that’s the solution uncle Bob – why didn’t we think of that down here in SA? Or can it be that Zuma is not clever enough to think of such a plan?
