Eskom has outdone itself this year: CEO

The risk of a total power blackout in South Africa at any point in future is “out of the question”, acting Eskom CEO Brian Molefe said on Wednesday.

 

[LazyLion]

So let me guess.... massive bonuses all round, right?

 

[ellyally]

Selective amnesia

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

they have to justify the exorbitant bonuses somehow .......

 

[The Voice]

I'm guessing their ridiculous salaries guarantee that they only take the best drugs, because they're all one some serious **** if they think everything's ok.

 

[Enzo Matrix]

You cant make this **** up

 

[ProfA]

Proof. Hard work and being smart is for peasants.

Look over your shoulder you are patting so hard and find a brown patch. It's the shyte you talking.

 

[Sonic2k]

Outdone itself yes, at hurting the economy and making even more people leave SA

 

[bekdik]

So the Minister of Police is not alone

This seems to be our culture of late - celebrating poor performances. They managed to increase power availability from 65% in December to 75%. Global norm is > 85%, even old coal power stations should have an availability of around 88%.
In school, we tell kids that it's ok to get 30% - you get a matric - lets celebrate. This is the result of continuously lowering standards.

I would have said they are celebrating mediocrity, but it's far below mediocre, it's outright failure. The only thing they can say is that they could have failed worse.

Africa rewards incompetence.

Some brave statements here:

“The prospect of a blackout is virtually non-existent,”

Brian Molefe deserves a bonus just for taking the job!

 

[Ianf1]

A poll should be started as to how long Mr Molefe will stay at Eskom.
I would say 8 months with a 5 year salary golden handshake.

Some brave statements here:

Indeed, from someone so out of their depth and being puppeteered by the cANCer
