Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter's impressive performance

I had never heard of "Load Shedding." until i wandered back to SA about 12 years ago.
WTF its a bloody power failure.
Cadres you broke it.
Now fix it you lazy, stealing twats.

No, its a Rolling Blackout.

Its not a new thing across the globe really, we just have given it a nice new name and do it on a wonderful schedule for the last 13 years.

no a power failure is a broad term - power failure would be more an unplanned thing (although it may be planned for repairs
rolling blackout is the term and it is used worldwide Texas most recently IIRC.
we just have our local name.
 
Retrench the fat, lazy and inept ... about 50% of their workforce ... slash the debt big time ... and then we'll be having a public holiday in Andre's honour!

Lol, why would they do this? SA citizens have proven that they enjoy being milked with higher tax whilst receiving nothing in return.

There's always hope, isn't there? :p
 
Are you guys crazy ? We are now on load shedding stage 4, something Zuma squashed do you remember that. There was load shedding and he, Zuma declared there will not be any load shedding and boom load shedding. You must be employed because us who run businesses it’s killing us. For you the employee it’s “free” for us it’s money being lost but yey he has don’t a great job.

:rolleyes:

yes the fire pool helped prevent load shedding
 
de Ruyter himself said that the power stations have not been properly maintained for the last forty (40) years. So, we are in this mess longer than twenty (20).
I agree it is longer
But the worst part is the last 20 years and they lost it completely 15 years ago
Do not get me wrong I do agree the decline started before that
But it escalated allot
 
Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter's incredible achievement

Andre de Ruyter has achieved something that no other Eskom CEO over the past fifteen years could do — reduce debt.

Eskom’s debt securities and borrowings increased from R30 billion in 2005 to over R488 billion in March 2020.

The rapid escalation of debt was a result of gross mismanagement, corruption, and poor procurement processes at the power utility.

The Medupi and Kusile mega-projects played a particularly big part.

The two coal-fired power plants were supposed to be completed by 2015 at a cost of R163-billion. Six years later they are still not finished, and their cost ballooned to R451-billion.
WHAT'S UP HERE, HE WAS THEN THE ONE WHO SAID ESKOM MADE BILLIONS RANDS OF PROFIT, WRONGLY REPORTED, OK THEN HE WENT TO PAY DEBT WITH THAT MONEY..

HE WAS SUPPOSE TO GO IN THERE AND GO MAKE THE UTILITY COMPANY BRING THE SERVICE OF DELIVERING ELECTRICITY TO EVERYONE O IN THIS COUNTRY, WHERE EVERYONE CAN PUT ON A LIGHT, WITHOUT NO ONE ONE PUTTING THEIRS OFF.

WHO DID THEY OWE WHO OBVIOUSLY NEVER COMPLAINED

THIS IS A BULL MATTER,

It's a bit too early in the day, dude. Also fix your caps lock.
 
Who started loadshedding Soweto?
The same guy who started loadshedding everyone?

I do get what you are saying though and I need to draw you attention to the fact that not holding Soweto residents accountable for their failure to pay for electricity was always a political thing, it had nothing to do with Eskom, the difference between De Ruyter and the previous CEOs in regard to Soweto and many other things is that De Ruyter has a fully supportive government behind him, it's a luxury that those who came before him never enjoyed.
 
Impressive Performance, se gat man.
Stage 4 load shedding, but give power for the funeral of a leech and for the anc to put through more idiotic policies. Yeah right

Good for him, that's a step in the right direction. My day would really be good if the people who caused this are all behind bars where they belong.
