Eskom has people problems – Electricity Minister

These issues have nothing to do with the leadership of Eskom, according to Ramokgopa, but are due to a lack of job security.

With Eskom’s ageing coal-powered fleet slowly being decommissioned, people are losing their jobs, and more jobs will be lost.

Eskom closed the dilapidated Komati plant last year and will close another 5 of its 14 remaining coal-fired plants by 2030.

Thus, people are not incentivised to apply themselves at Eskom, Ramokgopa lamented. “The people needed to run these plants do not see their future at Eskom.”

Okay, this schit is crazy. So these people don't meet their job requirements (otherwise it isn't a people problem, it's a management problem), and he says the problem is these useless fscks don't have enough job security.

Maybe they should try to achieve self-actualisation in a way that doesn't deprive the entire country of electricity?
 
Ramokgopa said that there are three solutions to load-shedding:

  1. Ramp up generation.
  2. Bring down demand artificially through load-shedding.
  3. Do both: Increase generation and reduce demand.

He's joking right?

Why has no one thought about just ramping up generation?

****ing idiot.

Sure are people problems. Oebantoe education is showing.
 
Hate to break it to you Ramokgopa, but your are a people - ergo you are the problem .. you said it yourself
 
Wait hang on. Let me get this straight.

You fire early retire all the skilled folks that have been there decades in the name of "transformation", hire and promote others simply because they now match the melanin levels required without necessarily having the required skills, and then you scratch your head and wonder why the work isn't happening very well?

Gosh, I can't figure this out either. It's too much for my small intellect. Good thing we've got such smart folks on the job there in the Presidency.
