Eskom cut off

Oh FFS - this is now ridiculous:
“Eskom has 32000 employees and recruiting nonpreviously disadvantaged engineers is unlikely to have a material effect on our diversity numbers.

“If a national key point is sabotaged, the effect would be unimaginable. It is a risk we cannot afford to take.”

Well, countrywide, they have managed to do a good job of it all by themselves.
 
AA needs to scrapped at Eskom. They need to try to get back the highly skilled employees they let go before trying to recruit any foreigners. But something tells me their pride won't allow them to do that. They'd prefer to let the company sink than change their mind.

I'm not "white".
I'm not "previously advantaged".
I'm "nonpreviously disadvantaged".

ROFL!

This outcomes-based education is having a devastating effect on Seffrican English!
:D:D
 
current employee demographics

The skills recruitment drive will not be race-based, so while Eskom intends to continue to be compliant with employment equity, Nqwababa says its external recruits are “unlikely to be a constraint due to current employee demographics”.

Translation:

We flushed out all the whites, then everything went to hell, and now we won't mind so much if some of them came back, seeing as we don't really know what the hell we are doing, eish ! But there's no way under the African sun that we'll ever admit that, not even to ourselves. A wise man once said: " If you HAVE to lie, make damn sure it's not to yourself"

I wonder how long the current dispensation will take to completely consume the infrastructure they inherited, roads, hospitals, substations, dams etc. . ten years of freedom, ten years of freedom from maintenance. But not to worry:

"Die slegte nuus is die k@k gaan die fan tref.
Die goeie nuus is daar's nie krag vir die fan nie."

Bet you those new shiny engineers from the UK won't be paid in rands.

Man I've become bitter of late....
 
“The number of foreign nationals at Eskom was increasing at an alarming rate, and most of them did not have proper documentation”

Why is it qualified and skilled workers from 1st world countries struggle to get work permits to get into SA when half of Africa waltzes through the back door with no money? All those Mozambiquen, Zimbabwean and Nigerian illegal immigrants were not even questioned.

Home Affairs is so messed up that you can't get work permit in SA but they can issue 4000 illegal passports to so high bribing Chinese syndicate?
 
What a stuff-up Eksdom is... Frikkin CEO and the top execs should all be shot out of a cannon into shark infested waters!!

This is not true at all. Up until this decision was made, Eskom had a firm AA policy which was to the detriment (non-advantage for Eskom PR people reading) of non-white candidates and employees. This means that these new recruits/old returners are actually from the previously disadvantaged camp and theoretically any new employee would be previsouly disadvantaged.
