Dear President Zuma, is South Africa really going to allow Eskom to cripple the people of this country with their ridiculous increases?
For a service provider to have the audacity to raise its' cost that much, while dropping the standards of service in any other industry would be considered a joke and the company would end up bankrupt. Yet we have allowed them to constantly increase their rates, over and over again.
The funny part is that the CEO’s end of year bonus alone is equivalent to 100 average peoples’ annual tax contribution. We cannot allow their monopoly of the market to destroy our country.
Thank you.

Dear Mr President:
In December South Africa will attend the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) at the UNFCCC in Copenhagen. The Department of Energy (DOE) has set, at best, modest targets for the inclusion of renewable and alternative sources of energy to be integrated into the country's future energy plans. These modest targets - only 4% of electricity generated will be via renewable sources by 2013 - were based on the fact that our coal based electricity used to be among the cheapest in the world, but now that coal based electricty will cost 3 times the current price by 2013, would it not be prudent for South Africa to pursue renewble energy policies with more vigour in an attempt to mitigate climate change as we are the continent's biggest emmiter of CO2?

Johannesburg -
Dear Mr. Zuma - In light of the recent proposed changes to legislation, which would give members of the police force more freedom to use lethal force against criminals in lethal situations, the government is showing positive signs of taking the crime problem seriously. My question is whether the government will consider harsher sentences and even possibly, a nationwide referendum on the death penalty for murderers?
Thank You.

Mr President,
How have you personally changed your lifestyle to reflect your commitment to eradicate poverty and to affect change in the environment we live in? What do you do behind the scenes where nobody sees to reflect your commitment?

Dear Mr Zuma it is a great privilege to be able to talk to you. You have been doing very well in the way you are running our country and may God give you more wisdom as he gave Solomon. Mr president we are in need of more churches in our area ( East London ) but it is even hard to get a plot so that we can build. Can you please sponsor us with a church building?
