It cannot be that South Africans have no choice as to whom they purchase electricity from. We have the right to choose our own service provider and the right to choose our own kind of electricity; be it wind, solar, gas or coal. The notion that this will create job losses is a simple lie. By diversifying our energy market, we will create jobs, increase competition and significantly drive down electricity prices. As South Africans we simply cannot be held random to the Tripartite Alliance concerns of upsetting one another. We are a country in total crisis and we have to act in crisis mode now.
