Subject: Medupi Power Station - Ellisras
This is why South Africas electricity bills are so high. This annoys the crap out of me, it is disgusting to say the least...

UNGRATEFUL - need their arses kicked. Now we know why we pay so much. We need to circulate this to show our friends the idiots in charge of ESKOM

The workers on site received free food parcels, everyday. There was an agreement with ESKOM that, after one year, they would be receiving hot meals instead of food parcels. MPS-JV employees are now upset at not receiving hot meals, as promised, and yesterday they protested by throwing their food parcels at management! This is from a community were food is scarce.

Now you might get an idea why Eskom needed a couple of billions......... Daily thousands of employees at Medupi receive free food, on top of free accommodation, transport, etc...... And considering 900 000 people lost their jobs last year, and how many millions of people are living in poverty and don't know where their next meal is coming from.... these photo's just explain it all!!!!
