Emalahleni residents rage against power outages by torching 6 vehicles

Motorists have as been advised to avoid the N12 East at Gillooly’s Interchange after a tanker carrying cooking oil crashed on Thursday afternoon.

Two men have been arrested for allegedly murdering their younger brother with an axe at their Limpopo home. A full bench of the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg will hear President Cyril Ramaphosa's application for an interdict against his predecessor's private prosecution on Thursday. Maleshane was arrested only hours after the heist. He was found in Potchefstroom with a vehicle that matched the description of one used in the heist.- Nicole McCainA man has gone missing in the surf at Groot Wolfgat Nature Reserve in Cape Town. National Sea Rescue Institute Strandfontein station commander Nicky Whitehead said the man was last seen disappearing underwater while swimming on Sunday. He was reported missing by a friend.

ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa used the party's January 8 statement on Sunday to honour the young men who were victims of a racist attack in Free State in December. "To those in our country who still want to perpetuate racism, we say [in] South Africa today we do not want racists here in South Africa. If you want to practice your racist tendencies, South Africa is not the place to come and do that."The altercation was captured on video and showed three men assaulting two teens, while one seemingly held one of the boys' heads underwater.

What the xxxxx does burning things solve.... When will this be addressed.

Wwe all know where this is going

No but this dum !!! So burn trucks that are not owned by eskom , trucks that transport coal to generate you the power your striking for.... Logically doesn't that make sense ? What has been accomplished by this ? How is this a solution or holding the power be accountable?

How does that help?

Dont burn vehicles go burn the board members Eskom_SA CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA nomoreloadshedding replaceeskomsboard nopowernoincrease

But they voted anc.

Nah this is not about loadshedding it's about 'ethnic mobilization'

So is torching vehicles the answer

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED SOUTH AFRICANS 👏

Illogical.

Syabonga ngoba aksiko eKZN

Good riddance.

Brilliant! Those who have the mentality to still vote for the MYANC now hatched a plan to solve our energy crisis! Just sit back, relax and watch the lights go on again!

Burn it DOWN babes.

I want to tell them to stop this nonsense. But they ask me to provide them with electricity, what am I going to say or do🙆‍♂️👌🙏🤷‍♂️

Like that's going to help. They should take their anger out on the ruling party.

👋

There is a 3rd force which want instability and conflict at all cost in South Africa. Investment will move to other African countries and Soutth Africa will collapse

I feel,I understand,however I believe the goverment is not feeling the wrath in this way,masses ,millions should gather at the union building,now is the time for the community to take it to the PARLIAMENT full force.

So by burning the trucks you will suddenly get electricity. Probably dont understand where electricity comes from.

Island_Tribe17 Why burn the truck if ANC government is responsible for eskom loadshedding.

We see them 👀

Thats the South African why 'i dont like it !!!...lets burn it down!!! Amandla!!

Im sure that solved the problem. Do they know that anc ministers have free generators at their homes?

You not fucking serious 😂😂😂

Once buffer sub fails will shutdown kusile masimba we anc sizo shisa le country

This is so sad, instead of torching vehicles?, how about voting for leaders who put the interest of citizens first?

When you looking for an excuse to be a legal criminal.

That will help...🤦‍♂️

Mthigo_ deepthierry ninjani kanti nina 😭🤣😭🤣

Ja no...like torching is gna help. Eits moet Mos brand of hoe!? This country is going to shi and its its own people breaking it down and making it worse. Dom!

Beautiful

Enough is enough let's the show goes on fire everything

Power to the people viva

As a resident of Emalahleni I'm ashamed of my people 💔

Misdirected anger always.

I hope they were electric vehicles

They don't have illegal foreigners that side? They can also burn them

Did the outages stop?

Ramaphosa reku rata kaufela😅😂🤣

If those vehicles are those big truck exporting coal... Asinandaba

Dom kopos how is it going to help to stop loadshedding? Loadshedding is a national crisis not only Emalahleni.

Clever blacks & asking silly questions 🤞🏾

They burning down trucks transporting coal out the country, the revolution will not be televised.

NationalShutdown

Qe zasha

We see you

It’s just a matter of time before spills or spread to the rest of the country.

What did that achieve?

✊🏿

This was someone's lively hood

U will find out those who do that don't pay electricity

They think load shedding izophela ke ngoku, or is the only thinking of umntomnyama, we have little brain if kuphelele la

Tsek ANC

🙄

Was it a anc or eskom truck

Loadshedding stopped. Typical Geniuses. Destruction helps🙄

Even if they can destroy properties or barricades road ,burn 🚚 trucks swearing us the remaining points is NO ELECTRICITY AND PRICE IS FINALLY INCREASINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

6 cars, stage 6? This can't be coincident

South Africa must die in order to be reborn.. It was supposed to die in 1994 but Mandela sold us out

People who have built anything in the span of their existence doesn't do this. It's those that get for free and who are promised free stuff who have no clue as to the value of things and the ramifications of doing this

why not grow some balls and disconnect these illegal connections...ooo shame you can't,, they are your brothers...thanks to them the rest of us have to fork out 18.65% more. burning cars or trucks,,,hahaaaa. did the lights come on afterwards. backyard mentality.

Haw instead of Luthuli house🙆

Sad outcomes...

Black mentality is f****** priceless.

Morena 💔

Fck those trucks, they destroying the roads and killing people on the roads constantly. Maybe not the most civil way to protest but atleast someone is. Majority of the people are protesting on twitter as if shit is gonna happen.

Ngizwe Mchunu why so quiet these days

Producers of coal suffer loadshedding more than any other cities its Unbelievable n heartbreaking.... people stop everything n fight what is yours before is Exported to Britain

Oh for Fxcks sake.. torch and burn, cause destruction... This is not the way, go to the ANC head office, go to government buildings, go and voice your concern there, but don't cause more kak for everyone else.

South Africans will get angry at everyone except their own government.

They must go burn the presidents house

People are out there hunting for criminal records. Good luck, mates.

Bet they still vote ANC at elections though

Backwardness...with all the frustrations we going through, vandalisim is something we dont even need the most...

wait till milk starts getting sour in the brand new refrigerator you bought, allot more is going to get torched, this Eskom is crippling this country,

Wow, the level of intelligence is staggering...

Because that will solve the issue and make it better

Good idea this but rather go the anc offices all over and damage their stuff. If we’re are on stage 5 then damage 5 of their cars or damage 5 government homes

Ayikhale!

Yessess, the mentality we have is astounding. 😢😢

We need more of this, not less ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Danko

Apart from the torching of vehicles and all. The potholes guys! What can be done so the municipality can fix the roads because it's a pure mess. The potholes are not just huge but they damage cars and causes accidents

That will help of course!!

How will that help?

We need more of this. This country must be made ungovernable until politicians take us seriously.

So is this the Electric vehicle or rather Eskom's/Municipal's?

They shouldn't be torching vehicles when they can torch MPs houses 👍

The African solution for any problem, burn and destroy.

Eish you just shooting yourselves in the foot - what has this helped - do you have power now? No cause your rage is directed at the wrong people. We all experiencing the same challenges but vulgar behaviour we will not be part of we will exercise our power in 2024

Destroy, destroy, destroy... why is this always the only response and action the masses take?!?

Atleast people of Emalahleni are doing something

Emalahleni residents don’t have the very thing (emalahle) that is used to generate power hence they’re in darkness 🤔🤔

How does that help?

ANC voters getting angry at the wrong people, rather than directing their anger at the party they’ve voted for. I guess they can’t comprehend the fact that their own party is failing them. Ku lit shem.

Be careful before retweeting this as you could be arrested by the incompetent law enforcement under the leadership of MYANC for incitement

cci_network 👌

Eh, can we tag this as 'only in South Africa'?

Makorokoto2 The owner of the trucks 😒:

That it is not a solution,to damage someone's car it is bad idea because that individual fill the pain that you fill about Eskom That is a stupid idea they must go to damage Ramaphosa's car

Leave the infrastructure and properties alone....niyabaz basebenzaphi ababantu bayi problem iyani Kubo

ChiefExo Cc berzy99 Here We go and THIS its private property..We not angry enough Gang!!Told you this is Not France or Brazil

2024 they'll be queuing very long lines just to make a cross ekhandeni laRamaphosa kodwa, manje bashisa maloli abantu abangahlangeni nakungakwazi kwabo ukwenza the right choices.

I love this. Citizens that vote for the ANC, torch and destroy, because the ANC doesn't deliver. Then they vote ANC again. Then torch and destroy when the ANC doesn't deliver. This is PEAK south african intelligence, right there. And it will NEVER change.

Is this how it starts?

This is just the tip of the iceberg...People are tired of the BS and lies. Is your editor Mr Basson going to tell us all again how 'majestic' Cyril Ramaphosa is?

Eventually there will be nothing left to burn down...

Brought to you by the same village ID10ts that voted for this mess

Why don't they go to Eskom substations and cause havoc there

Clever ones neh😂

How lovely, beter start getting off the eskom grid quick. anc Eskom EskomGauteng solarpower

They should've burned more

SuperiorLogic

In Emalahleni they make coal or what?

If there's one thing about South Africans, their misguided rage. They scratch where it's not itching.

Seziyakhala

Oooh.. I'm sure the ANC leaders felt that. Burning other people's vehicles, ruining their lives, must really effect fat billionaires ruling our nation

See.....and ppl are saying we need to protest, look at wat happened here

Typical zot behavior 🙄

This isn’t rage this is destructive and it’s not an act of frustration it’s criminal so please don’t sugar-coat shit to fit the narrative

I like it for the Pirates 😋

That will restore power Pronto...

And how did this help? You are still without power. Nothing changed, but carry on regardless because its the ANC's way to destroy everything.

Since you're Fake-News24, I don't believe it was about power outages. I'm sure it was about Ramaphosa's Just Energy Transition Nonsense that will move the country to renewables, leaving Mpumalanga a ghost province as it depends on Coal and coal power plants.

Slowly but surely

This bullshit again - set fire to everything because that will resolve the issue! Domkops. Is the power restored? Hmmmm? Maybe they should start setting fire to each other, that way that mind set will burn itself out

I really don't agree with torching of 'Innocent vehicles' 😭 anyway anger is anger so what anger are we showing to this damn government people don't have electricity for weeks it's not one or 2 days its weeks and months.

What pathetic people. Innocent people suffer for the ANC's mess. How stupid!

They will torch buildings and cars. And then proudly declare that they are ANC supporters 🤡

Plus they transport rocks instead of coal

😂😂😂

HKGK in other words HIER KOM GROOT KAK 🤨🤨🤨🤨

Go to Eskom to Megga Watt Park Whe need answers for this shit burning other people things wont solve it

We will get an excuse that people are angry 🙄🙄 but this is barbaric

And has the power returned after torching the vehicle?

Yeah, that'll show them...

Wish I was from Emalahleni.

This is not the way to deal with this very bad situation.

Good

Who’s cars, that’s the question.

This isn't the correct way of outing your frustration.

I'll humble ask everyone from KZN or who is a Zulu to stay away from any kind of protest under CyrilRamaphosa . You are risking to be labeled a tribalist, chance are they will unleash Indìàns and Wh!tes to k!ll you. We did try to challenge him December other Provinces said no.

SipheleleDladla Now we getting somewhere ✊🏾

So 6 people that had nothing to do with load shedding lost their cars. What the latest load shedding schedule? No change? Thought not..

SihleMahamba We see them

Went through the comments, Only eMalahleni people are taking thus loadshedding issue to the streets the rest ,we are keyborad warriors

See Exactly what I've been saying.. people are gatvol with Eskom & now the violence & destruction starts.. all it takes is one lot to start & the others will follow.. we have to get the Eskom /Government /ANC lies exposed urgently so that something can be done..

The whole country should be torched

Now that will solve the issues hey. The anarchy just continues to spiral

Fantastic. We should see more outrage.

I'm having difficulty to understand the logic here. Was the ANC in the vehicles when they torched it?

Unlead revolution knocking 💪

Eh

It's getting there.

South Africa is a country ruled by ANC thieves, this is most likely to spread across South Africa. South Africa stands in great peril of falling apart !!

We need to pressure wayneduv and OUTASA to file a class action ultimatum to the MYANC GovernmentZA to make immediate changes or else the 60% revenue the state makes from taxes will be shut off. The taxpayers hold the key to the county's future

Will that make the electricity come back?

This is just the beginning. If this loadshedding is not going to stop asap,prepare for the more. No one to be blamed but our President. Unfortunately!

Leave ppls properties alone go to Eskom offices

Nazo burn and loot 'til they listen

JP_Maloka Sekshota behaidpaki

They take out their frustration and torch someone else’s vehicles instead of going to the municipalities to strike? Burning someone’s property is only going to result in them being arrested which results in their strike being useless at the end of the day🤦🏽 people don’t think!

HKGK

Clever 🙈

Well, that's useful. Rather burn ministerial vehicles.

Bayeka amalahle bashisa imoto

Clever, burn normal people livelihood because of poorly run anc government institutions.

Yes! This makes sense because … oh … wait … 🤔

...when a people have nothing to lose, government should worry☝️...playing with fire. this time around it will be worse than July 2021 unrest. get your sht straight and do right by the citizens of this country

Prior reading the headline i had concluded this is Tubatse area🤣🤣🤣🤣

They should have paid a visit to the president house

Attack government properties than private owned property, go meggawat park. This is barbaric.

The muuring the system where it hurts. The insurance will have to pay....the good part

Children should'nt play with matches💡💡💡💡

M sure they no longer have load shedding now.. 🙄

That's stupid

PROVERB applies here. Stupid is as stupid does.

How is this solving the problem?

Rage with your votes. That’s how.

Great now that fixed the power outages.

How will violence help

You say ' PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICANS ' right.🚮🚮.I tell you good South Africans are in trouble your fellow crackpots are coming for you.

After burning the trucks,i saw one guy was busy chopping of some steel on the trailer using an axe

Is this kind of behaviour genetic or learnt?

Which emalahleni residents this is news to me

Wish was there yaz

Let's go to transnet and burn those ships that take our coal plus every coal truck

And you achieved what? You not worthy being called human!

Pretty useless to burn vehicles that has nothing to do with loadshedding, ANYBODY knows where kwedien Mantashe lives?

DILAELA

So when the teucks are burning they generate electricity for them. This is purely nonsense. 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮

Zimbabwe 2.0

Why? Cause they not getting it for free anymore? Savages

Who did these vehicles belong to? Why not torch the MPs house with him/her inside? That would make more sense to me.

And the people have now spoken and this will only get worse, but the nation cannot be blamed for getting angry, it’s about time !!!

O, and once they did that, the power came back on.🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

Imagine having enough coal to meet electricity demand but still suffer from stage 10.

Should we learn a thing or two?

If this happened in KZN. Knives were going to be!!

Oh well.

Other part of South Africa ?🙄

Anc will provide free electric if you vote for them in elections

I hope their problem has been solved now that thier anger has gone down

Gao nyewe once...

I can see the comments but I want people to understand this: Firstly I'm a resident of emalahleni and more specifically the area which was affected. Here in emalahleni and more specifically in the township areas of Vosman and Ezinambeni the community always has to strike

Now was it the vehicles faults they don't have electricity?

They must deal with those trucks transporting coal that is meant for the Westerns

How will this help ? 😡

Very clever ..

Why can't they go to another country we are fine with this power cut.

There is no hope

That will make loadshedding disappear 😬🙄

We still on Stage 6. It hasn't made any difference.

No wonder this country is dying.....

Did it help?

What will THAT help?

Az’khale!

Ah yes, my fellow members of civilisation.

There’s a reason

Please please don’t damage infrastructure and people’s property it aleady is a daily struggle in our communities to fix and clean and police everything 😭😭😭😭

Setting stuff on fire always fixes the problem.

Voted for the ANC, bunch of useless savages.

We want Mazulu to be angry you'll see when big nose takes action and solves load shedding

Probably the coal yard that supplied shoddy coal 🤔
