How I would solve electricity production in this land.

In my position as overseer of electricity production, I'd use three main components: 

• Sodium-ion batteries (aka molten salt batteries). 


- Six vertical wind turbine power stations with three hundred turbines each & accompanying molten salt battery facilities in Mkhanyakude District.

- Five vertical wind turbine power stations with three hundred turbines each in eThekwini Municipality with molten salt battery capacity. 

- Solar power station in Majuba District with 2500 MW power generation capacity. 

- Solar power station in eastern Ekurhuleni with 3500 MW power generation with molten salt battery facilities.

- Three vertical wind turbine power stations with three hundred turbines each by Umgungundlovu with molten salt battery facilities.

- Five vertical wind turbine power stations with three hundred turbines each & molten salt battery facilities in the Ugu District coast. 

- If we make streetlamps & streetlights (robots) individual solar powered units, we'd solve half the lighting problem.

- Hospitals, police stations, home affairs offices & other vital national buildings need to be self-sufficient in wind or solar depending on which would be optimal for the region.


I'm not sure of how many wind power stations or solar panels we'd need for each power station but each station should have power-generating capacity of between 3000 MW to 5000 MW. 

The positioning of these renewable energy power stations would be based one the regional power potential for solar & wind power.

History of the Mpofana by Mthoko M. Mpofana

I'm not very traditional, I'm more straightforward & basic & often disregard cultural nuances so this history of the Mpofana tribe is going to be as direct & concise as possible.  Growing up, I grew up knowing that the clan praises or izithakazelo of the Mpofana are "Zulu" & "Ntombela", I never questioned that.  What I know now for sure is that there's a lot more that's hidden in history. What I keep seeing being repeated from various sources is that the Mpofana were part of the Amazizi (or AmaTiti) tribe. I now know that in the midlands & perhaps further north, up to the northwestern parts of KZN, they use the greeting "MaZizi okuhlala", perhaps alluding to the fact that the Mpofana as well as other Amazizi tribes were among the original tribes to settle in present-day KZN from 200 AD onwards & the "Dlamini" praise or greeting was used among all Dlamini tribes i. e. the Amahlubi, Amazizi (Mtiti), Hlangwini...

A little about eSayidi ( Port Shepstone )...

Port Shepstone is a small town on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal known by the locals as "eSayidi".  In Port Shepstone, attractions include; Port Shepstone Museum, the annual Sardine Rush, a mall, two shopping centres & the beach.  Port Shepstone was settled by British, Boers & Norwegian settlers during colonisation.  By Port Shepstone is the suburb of Marburg where it's said Emperor Shaka met with Henry Francis Fynn in 1828 after the Zulu's Mpondoland campaign in present-day Eastern Cape. Descendants of Norwegian settlers in KwaZulu-Natal include cricket all-rounder Lance Klusener & South Africa's most successful football coach Gordon Igesund.  Despite many groups living in Port Shepstone including those of east African, west African, southern African, Asian, Arab & American descent, it remains a Zulu-speaking town.  Famous names to come from this small town called Port Shepstone include:  • Naima Kay (Singer...

What would a white exodus in South Africa mean?

Alright, in my previous blog I mentioned a white & Indian exodus in South Africa. We already joke about white people leaving South Africa for Australia, England or Canada & finding the going tough then coming back to South Africa but what if they were to go to a country where everything would be comfortable for them & they would forget about South Africa. What would become of South Africa?  Farmers: We're led to believe that the majority of farmers in South Africa are white so that vaccum would have to be filled & frankly, I don't think the current crop of black farmers can fill the void so we may have to buy food from elsewhere in the world so food prices may increase more than they already have.  Skills exit: Some may claim a skills exit in South Africa would leave a vacuum that would be filled by indigenous black professionals & while that may be true, they'll need to obtain the experience that the former non-black people had. No racism: There would ...
