    Eskom must pay bonuses to resolve ‘people problems’ – Ramokgopa

    What a load of codswallop. Money alone won't solve the problem. Poor morale is a reflection of ineffective and bad management and until this is rectified no amount of increased pay will suffice. ``As it is, the reported overstaffing at these already significant average pay levels are a...

    Eskom goes quiet about skills crowdsourcing

    Crowd sourcing for specialist employees is a waste of time. Crowds by definition in this context don’t include qualified persons or attract people with the requisite knowledge to fill highly technical positions! This attempt to attract staff is a clear indication of incompetency by those...

    Energy minister is wrong about corruption in Eskom, says de Ruyter

    The new minister, after only days in office, must be a psychic to be able to deny that corruption has had no part in the problems at Eskom and claim that technical problems were only at fault. Where has he been for the last decade or so, in outer space? It's a toss-up between corruption, poor...

    Disturbing new trends among South Africans

    Frank Payne. The loss of confidence in the concept of democracy is misplaced! We do NOT live in a democracy, as do not many in countries in the world. Constitutional Democracy, in South Africa and many other countries that have political party constructs, purporting to be democracies, is a...

    Forget the conspiracies, 15-minute cities will free us to improve our mental health and wellbeing

    This is no more than a dystopian attempt, promoted by a despotic organization, the WEF, to apply controls over personal freedoms in favour of the creation of a new "World Order", in which individuals will become subjected to the diktats of an elitist cadre of filthy rich and powerful corporates...

    Webafrica appeals R30,000 fine over opaque cancellations

    MTN's connectivity in Bedfordview is pathetic. Voice calls are almost impossible to make. Writing complaints to them does nothing to rectify the problem.

    ANC's ideological energy battle - while South Africa bleeds

    Mantashe needs to be replaced forthwith and Eskom should be run by competent independent engineers who are charged with providing a workable solution to our power problems and held to account by an independent body of power experts, chaired by a competent technical expert, and allowed to get on...

    Medical aids are increasingly unaffordable - Maya Fisher-French asks them why

    Take Discovery for example. They have expanded business into totally unrelated areas like banking, asset management, fitness centres and short term insurance, using the income generated from the core medical aid business to help finance these alternative businesses. In addition they have built...

    MTN share price hammered on Nigerian RICA enforcement

    I live in Bedfordview where the MTN signal is pathetic, most often showing no bars or at best one bar, I have had this problem for years and MTN even installed an internal booster in an attempt to improve service. This was a disaster! Recently I sent in a complaint of poor service delivery, to...

    Nersa wants to charge solar panel users up to 1,000% more for power than big mines

    Typical decision - address the symptom and not the causes, ineptitude, corruption, maladministration, sabotage and overstaffing amongst others!

    Nersa wants to charge solar panel users up to 1,000% more for power than big mines

    Has anyone investigated how much power would be generated if every household installed a solar system with battery back-up to provide for essential use. It would be interesting to see how much capacity that would free up!

    Do you think President Cyril Ramaphosa should fire the police, state security, and military ministers?

    Definitely. It's about time that properly qualified and experienced people be appointed to these positions. Commentary given is most often lacking in substantive content and vague as to implementation. The lack of specific objectives and how they will be addressed, is neither helpful nor...

    Do you think all zoos should be closed?

    Ys they are past their sell-by date. Apart from being able to just view animals in a confined area devoid of their natural habitat, particularly in respect of highly social species, where interaction with their herd or community is an essential part of their healthy existence, no meaningful...
