The Rolling Blackouts - Eskom (You Light Up My Life)

Written and first performed in 2006 by three sixteen year olds, armed with Afrikaans accents and out of tune instruments...

---
South Africa has been experiencing on-going electricity and power supply problems for what feels like forever ... and the situation isn't helped by the government's spin doctors and general lack of competence ... Be sure to look out for Alec Erwin, (who claimed a "loose bolt" was responsible for massive power-outages) Bongani Nqwababa, (Eskom's Financial Director) and Valli Moosa (Fat Cat Chairman of the board at Eskom) in this video!

Nice one ladies. What video editing software did you use?

[eMoTHeRapy666]

I use Avid Liquid 7 - but I make all my animation pretty much-to-edit, so the only real editing I do is some colour and speed adjustments...thanks for the comment!
