Eskom might implement Stage 4 load-shedding to manage its diesel reserves

[Kosmik]

So what has De Ruyter fixed? It sounds far worse than before his time. More loadshedding, more breakages, more outtages.

Hmm somehow it sounds like he is doing a far worse job than his predecessor.

Oh and millions of litres of fuel is being stolen, same with billions of rands of parts, and he is unaware of this.

So what is he aware of? He hasnt fixed anything, he just made it worse. He is just more vocal about it.

Rather than sweeping the maintenance issues under the rug to bite the future generations/staff?

I think the people at home burning diesel to keep their generators running does a much worse job at our air problems. Also the manufacturers of solar panels and those things.

Well it looks like he's not lying about things unlike the previous people in charge.

This, it bothers me DEEPLY that no journalists are making noise on this, this cannot be normal and is by no means sustainable.

I mean to me this is the biggest red flag, plow the country deeper into debt, to keep the lights on and refuse private companies to step in. That has to be some kind of a crime? / fraud.

The ANC would rather plunge the country into darkness than let go of the monopoly on electricity production.

Oberholzer mentioned that a significant problem Eskom was facing was boiler tube leaks, which can take anywhere from 12 to 16 days to repair, depending on where the leak is.

Lies...

Oh oh now you've gone and done it

But, but, but the cANCer are the only political party that can sort this Eskom problem out according the ti lair in chief Cyril the squirreleven they created the probelm in the first place.
What a bunch of pompous morons they are. Useless shyte for brains morons

Wet diesel?

In fact the opposite... It's dried up

Kind of hard to be aware of the theft when there are hundreds of thieving konts in the organisation covering for each other. This shyte was created by the cANCer and he is never going to sort it out. To many odds against him.

You're in Africa mate, SOP for every country there is plunge the country further into shyte at every opportunity, lol

Unless you are prepared to argue that the previous CEOs did maintenance right I think laying this all at the feet of the current CEO is unfair.

In my eyes Eskom hasn't done maintenance correctly in a very very long time. In the order of decades. Similarly their generating fleet continues to age and deteriorate. The harder that fleet is run to stave off loadshedding the more rapid the degradation.

That abuse of the system has finally caught up with Eskom and they can't fix things faster than they break now.

If that's the situation it's natural that going forward every CEO of Eskom will show progressively worse results with regards to loadshedding.

This has potentially been a big game of Pass the Parcel and De Ruyter is just the one doing that final unwrapping when the music stops.

Unfortunately considering the total lack of transparency from previous CEOs I have nothing to gauge the man's performance on. We don't know if the previous CEOs did better maintenance than De Ruyter has, or if they simply were foolishly running younger, hardier equipment harder because 5 years from then that damage wasn't their problem.

Imagine what it's doing to the air quality

Burning diesel is better for the environment than burning coal.
So it's a good thing
