My country has just got new subs???
Unbelievable, in a country where we are now struggling to keep the power
 on we go out and get three new subs.(we have no power for about 2 hours a day, because even though 10 years ago it was predicted we would run outta electricity by 2007, we bought subs instead.)AND WE HAVE NO PEOPLE TO RUN 'EM!!!  http://www.sundaytribune.co.za/?fSec...1930540C712935 well the suns shining... |

Funny you should say about the power, I was just talking to a South African friend of mine at work the other day about it, well, she was the one who told me about the current problem, I could barely believe what I was hearing!
 I didn't realise things had gotten so bad! She said that you were having power lotteries now, that a town is picked at random and then the power cut off for up to 7 hours at a time  I mean, I know South Africa is a big place, but the administration had over ten years warning that they needed to spend money on the power system...but then again, I guess that's what corruption does

Maybe they bought the submarines to use as power generators
