Eskom can't take back white engineers without jumping through hoops

I like Makgoba who I seem to see is a medical man. Of what use are these qualifications in a "business" generating electricity? de Ruyter of course is a "businessman" and maybe that is good enough (qualification wise I think he is a BComm, LLB and maybe MBA). In some fairness to de Ruyter he may not have the mandate to generate electricity, just split Eskom into three ANC feeding troughs.

No wonder place is a mess.

Well..... being a medical man, it can be traditional. So he throws the bones to see who gets the next tender.

We’re going by the blurbs on the image you posted. Read them objectively and tell me which one doesn’t stand out to you.

Then retract your accusations leveled towards me or prepare for the consequences.

You have been warned.

I've already told you that if you have a problem with anyone on that image, take it up with whomever appointed them.

And as for your threats, LOL I am quaking. Accusing me of accusing you LOL Are you sober?
 
The ANC painted us into this corner with regard to the shti we have been seeing at Eksdom over the years because they simply lack the know how in regard to how to do things like that.

They have no clue and in fact never had, hence all the shti we are now experiencing after 27 years of brainless decisions not to even mention the corruption...they are standing on the precipice here with no parachute....oh shti how can I forget, it was and is because of apartheid!

Or the 'expats' from the USA that were on Carte Blanche, imported at great cost?

Show me a South African company that is "fully in control of the company and the decision making", including hiring decisions, and I will show you a company that is not compliant with racist AA and BEE legislation and regulations, including an inspectorate that will report on that non-compliance on a regular basis. Furthermore, that company will be subjected to punitive economic measures because of that non-compliance with racist laws and regulations.

So, in fact it is the other way around: A CEO (or CE in de Ruyter's case) reports to the Board of Directors, and a Directors' role, as defined in the Companies' Act, is to make decisions which are compliant with prevailing legislation and regulations, and always act within the law (even if it's racist). The CEO cannot operate outside of his mandate as provided by the directors, or that provided bu relevant industry legislation and regulations.

So good luck with your civil action, here are the respondents' names and photographs:

It would be far more profitable, and have far better chances of success, to lobby for the repeal of the racist legislation and regulations, but considering that it ideologically aligned with the goals of the ANC, and the fact that it fills the stomachs of their connected friends, good luck with that too.

So much credentials, yet are all clueless.
Drive's the notion that a fancy piece of paper does not make one smart.

The white engineers can offer their skills and expertise to Orania rather?

I'm sure they will be welcome there. After all, Orania may need to have its own power plant, and they will need expertise on how to build and maintain it.

Going to be so ironic if Orania is in the position of producing clean and reliable power to the rest of South Africa...

He actually doesn't necessarily need any qualifications for the position, chairing a board requires a different set of skills because the position is non-executive in nature, the previous chair Mabuza did not even have a degree.

His appointment could have been strategic because as an academic he wouldn't have a whole lot of interests in the business sector, avoiding the Mabuza situation, but having chaired different boards before he wouldn't be a stranger to a corporate environment.

Sometimes putting an expert as a chair of the board leads to clashes with the executive, something Ramaphosa could not afford with what Eskom has already been through.
