It's all good, blackpartheid balances apartheid, eskom falls u just pick it up.

Can believe that. Eskom isn't a good place to work. First they had to live through the era of super corruption with the management to go with it.

They must now live in this era where top management seem comfortable to blame the lowest of workers for a national problem. And the COO is shocked at the extent of people leaving Koeberg? He's the COO why the hell does he not know that engineers are leaving and they have a crisis? That COO seems very clueless of what goes on in the company.

How does being shocked mean he does not know?

Maybe he's shocked by the monthly figures he gets from HR?

"Yes Mr President, the solution will be to build new power stations as the existing power stations are racist by breaking down frequently"...

Had a family in my kids school where the husband worked for Eskom.

He loved it, qualified electrical engineer and got paid to clock in and sit around doing nothing most of the day. He was part of a team of about 20 guys earmarked for voluntary severance packages. The full process took close on 18 months and they weren't allocated any work in that time.

So he just sat around all day, got his admin done and a job lined up in NZ while waiting for his payment to come through and kept on drawing a salary while admin bungled on.

Left SA a week after he received his final payment.

Man this was news 20 years ago

Well... that was the start of Eskom's problems.

I'm sure we can all put the blame on BEE.

This article was incredible racist and quite difficult to read. The implicit bias towards skilled staff being ony white staff is so reminiscent of discriminatory speech and a it affirmative action (that assists 90% of the population) is so cowardly of the "staff writer". Ppl are leaving eskom. because of negelctful eskom leadership which has been run by white men in the last year. Call it what it is and stop writing bull **** for clickbait.

He should be managing the problem not reporting shock to external audiences. It gives the impression of cluelessness.

Lol. Are you sure there's an implicit bias or aren't you just projecting your own feelings onto the article.

You know implicit bias is a BS term right?

This has been happening for quite some time. One friend is still hanging on but not sure for how long.
First one left for Austraila around 2010 (Kueberg) second one for UAE in 2015.
Second one left without job lined up, just got so frustrated with politics around his work.
As soon his ex colleagues found out that he resigned he got hob offer in UAE and left.

Both highly motivated and hard working, unfortunately politics and no career prospects made them leave.
Colour also does not matter.

Many of those skill are irreplaceable, we can see results now and we will definitely see it in the future.

Got to hurry before the next blackout this side. MyBroadband posted an excellent article just this minute,.

 

[Vrotappel]

Eskom is the perfect case study for transformation.

2008? Far too late, it started in 2001/2 already.

 

[RonSwanson]

Interesting article, the primary reasons given have always been there yet the latter reasons are secondary when those are new and should be accounting for most of the drain. And they also seem to both resign without a job in prospect but at the same time going to Europe and the East? I'm sure there are issues at Eskom affecting staff but politicizing the reporting doesn't help

Acknowledging the truth does not help?

Political interference is where it all started, still present today, it turned a jewel into a turd, and it will remain so until political interference stops.

Jan does at times look very lost at Eskom, De Ruyter is a newcomer who is not even an engineer but he is more coherent about Eskom's problems.

Someone should give the guy a golden handshake already.
