Eskom privatisation is 'fake news' - Gordhan

[Supervan II]

So the problem is mainly that black professionals were chased out, it seems.

Yes. They were showing white tendencies ...

 

[JustJack]

That's not even the title of the article.

Lol all the people in this thread fell for Lews trolling

 

[wbot]

Why even mention the colour of the professionals?

Because South Africa

 

[TheChamp]

Colour is mentioned all the time when people reminisce about their friends and relatives who were chased out of Eskom and other SOEs after 94, I don't understand why people are now getting coy about colour.

 

[Sarg3_ZN]

Add 'Clever' before black and then remove the word professional, that is what he is trying to say. What he doesn't say is that they were replaced by many cadres.

NUM threatens more power cuts over Eskom split

The union comrades clearly don't believe it is fake news and are now threatening to sabotage the economy if plans to split Eskom forge ahead.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

Don't fall for this people, the takeaway here is that Gordhan is a freeloading moron.

just like every other communist ever, dead or alive

It is now. All news sites keep on changing titles. Look at the original url - at the time, title was something like "Live: Gordhan announces...."

Late to the party...

He says skilled people (in other words of all races, but particularly black) so he's not leaving out your precious whites. We know how state capture preferred to be rid of skilled people and replace them with the corruptible and incompetent.

No, we don't know. You say you know but have no facts. Yes, we know that Affirmative Action chased skilled whites away and replaced them with incompetent blacks.
How many black engineers did Eskom loose because of "State Capture"?

Rather, because of political correctness, Pravin is pulling the rabbit by its ears. I am sure, to prove the point, numbers could have been released. Utter silence talks too. #LiveWithIt

 

[ɹǝuuᴉM]

Just saw the stats yesterday... of how the avg. salaries and staff increased while the power generation stayed the same.
We'll sit in total darkness, living in caves and hunting field mice for food before they'll admit that racist BEE policies kinda screwed the entire country over.

He placed emphasis on, ‘particularly black professionals’ which either refers to more black professionals losing their jobs or specifically black professionals losing their jobs. Either way, he is alluding to the failure of the implementation of black empowerment and affirmative action at Eskom which is more than stealing ‘a few billion’. All resulted in a negative impact on the power utility.

He made that statement in addition to corruption.

Eskom knows exactly how many whites and blacks were hired and fired in the last 10-15 years. It is a public company. A service provider. Show the numbers or F...OFF

 

[R13...]

You say you know but have no facts.

I can give you a list of names/deeds but I'm not going to because you're a troll not interested in anything factual aside from your usual thinly veiled racist agendas..

 

[C4Cat]

Please explain how Eskom was turning profits before the ANC got their hands on it?

When was Eskom 'turning' profits?

 

[ɹǝuuᴉM]

To believe your list or not to believe "your list". This is the question. I know you lot have the numbers. You are not going to publish though. It is not supporting your cause. And if you publish the numbers, we MUST check and recheck them. Statistics can be manipulated. Oh and please leave the name-calling and insults out. It makes you look even more clever.
