Eskom must get rid of thousands of skilled whites, including white engineers

Awesome hey.... </sarcasm>

It is well publicised that there is a lack of skills, an issue which lead in part to the current electricity crisis, yet here the wise powers that be are eager to get rid of even more skills. And they'll happily do so in attempts to win favour with the majority even when the policies have long term detrimental effects on the country. But that's the problem with populist politics...

It's apartheid which is at fault. Getting rid of more whites will help reduce the effect of apartheid on the power grid and help fix the problems. Didn't you get the memo?

Ah yes, and it'll reverse Van Riebeeck's arrival in this country. As there were absolutely no tribal wars, raping and pillaging before his arrival...
 
This is why SA will always have power problems and load shedding... regardless of the number of new builds come online there will be more issues and problems that will be blamed on apartheid/whites/jan etc. Loadshedding is here to stay, it will only get worse over the years no matter how much money is thrown at eskom. Rand will continue on its fall down the ****ter, economy will continue to shrink, growth will continue to tick down until there is nothing left. The white man over seas will continue to see adverts of 'feed x number of africans for x dollars/pounds', the white man continue to 'donate' to building dictators palaces. The white man will be called in driving their UN trucks handing out food to the starving millions in SA, just like the rest of africa. Doesn't matter if it takes another 10 years or 50 years... it will happen, and white man will be blamed.
 
“Let’s be honest, a lot of the people who work at Eskom do not have the skills required of them,” Nhlapo was quoted as saying.

Logic tells me that if you need to reduce staff numbers that this would be the appropriate place to start. You do not retrench people who keep your business afloat.

Logic has no place in the new South Africa
 
I hope this is a joke! If this is indeed true, wow! I am lost for words! Apart from this being racist, it shows that this country is actually going backwards. Skilled engineers suffering merely for being white! :wtf:
 
Damnit.

/goes off to buy lots of solar panels and deep cycle batteries
 
Dont have an issue if these whites can get better employment elsewhere with better pay. They should given the experience and the skills.

Who wants to be associated with the dump called Eskom anyway.
