What Eskom wants from its next CEO

"The ad explained the CEO’s key responsibilities would include creating high-performing gravy with a culture that maintains the highest corruption and backhand standards.

The minimum qualification required to apply for the position is a skill in Uno, cartel management, or access to a rock quarry."

To be fair, this is probably why De Ruyter wasn't fit for the post :p

Yes, we are not there yet. He should have just turned a blind eye to corrupt executives. But no, he was trying to be clever.
 
Dodging bullets at close range will be a requirement to qualify
 
Even if you bring God he can not fix EishKOM. Those who are there, their mindset had to change towards service delivery or minority elected govt must take action to privatize. Only privatization will/can fix the issue as that will help to get rid of all those that are bringing it down.

All this started as a BBBEE implementation around 2013 which is now causing the downward spiral. If you give anything to someone because of their skin color things dont work and it goes south unless they know what they are doing. Hard facts, no offence

I don't have an MBA but I'm pretty sure I could do a far better job of fscking Eskom up than any of these previous CEOs. Quite happy to take the position for R7m.

That's what you think.

You cannot head up such a large unionised parastatal with private sector "hard lines" business mentality.
