Lol, I asked the question of a person who hinted at some truth. But he seems unwilling to say. You just picked it up and hauled it your way.

Good ones are long gone.

Why would anyone have sat through all the corruption for the last 10 to 20 years and only decided to leave now?

Because they got a job and did their work. Top level management has been fooling around and it's has been filtering down. People realize they are being replaced (to make them Eskom BEE), forcing them to leave , they see no future at eskom.
But I agree... Eskom has been tanking for 20 years, I can only guess to get experience people might work there and then leave.

Ps. I would love the break down of employees at Eskom.

The thing about born frees is they have as much real world experience to comment on apartheid as I do on World War Two.

Fact not an opinion.

I can only imagine how high IQ such a statement sounds in your mind so I will leave you to your facts.

Some might just stay because they have a job. Not sure that's really good or bad, I don't expect these people to really make a difference.

Nobody is being replaced by BEE that's ridiculous.
 
The mad lefty whataboutism cadre crowd is strong here. They are why SA is the shythole that it is.

In 2015, media reports revealed that Eskom was planning to cut the number of white engineers and managers and decrease the number of white tradespeople.

Cutting skilled white employees was needed to comply with South Africa’s strict provisions of the country’s Equity Act.

The Department of Labour required Eskom to set numerical targets so that the makeup of its workforce would more closely match that of the country at large.

Eskom had to submit a plan to reach the demographics targets by 2020.

In 2019, another report surfaced that Eskom was planning to drastically cut the number of skilled white engineers and managers to meet its affirmative action targets.

The white employees who Eskom allegedly targeted included engineers, tradespeople, academically qualified staff, and middle management.

So you say they are not cut.. but the reports do show it.

Eskom is extremely top heavy, and have way to many engineers sitting around doing nothing.

They have been leaving for the last 20 years, and they are still leaving. There's no end in sight, one would think it is an endless supply.

This is the funny part, you keep reading about this brain drain but the so called "brains" are getting paid north of 1.5M for the last 2 decades.

There are still plenty of "van Merwe's" which are Chief Engineers and Corporate Specialists at Eskom, certainly they must be the reason Eskom is still generating power - inconsistent as it may be - it has to be, there is no other explanation right...

The reality is many South Africans {those ones} find joy in seeing Eskom fail... especially if it's in their absence...
