No, I'm pointing out the fact that the good ol cANCer have their knives out for him because he's white.
The cANCer never complained while their own pillaged and ****ed up Eskom.

We’ve had the worst loadsshedding in history, the ANC reasons, if it is indeed them, is warranted.
Do you want to wait another year when you can see obvious problems already?

I’d do it in my first month.
It’s easy to pick out the trouble makers in just one meeting.

How's that then?


Those that are with you and those that are against you. Get rid of them regardless, send a message.
Once you cut a few from the top. The message filters down very fast.
He had licence to do so.

Unions and ANC says otherwise.

If his role was to focus on maintenance, you target their business sector first.

Hu?

27 years on no maintenance and cadres stealing and sabotaging...finally coming to a head.
 
I knew of a person, worked for eskom, he took his stuff out for maintenance, and 5 minutes later put it back, with not touching it, but on paper it looks good and he got an award for "best maintanance" because of that.
 
So you spend a decade+ sweating the generation assets you have because you've deemed Medupi and Kusile to be the saving grace of the energy woes.

Medupi and Kusile, while not only late, prove to be unreliable so you cannot take down the same aging plant for that overdue maintenance.

You then allow Eskom to try and catch up on this maintenance while energy supply is constrained.

Surely even the dullest of minds must realize that the more maintenance you carry out the more at risk you are of load shedding and less you do the longer it will take to complete the maintenance program?

Considering you need to strike a balance with the above, how long should it take Eskom to complete this maintenance and how much load shedding should be "allowable"?

He has the power to demote and promote, he can bring in people if needed. There’s ways around it. Restructure, protect revenues, focus on losses, maintenance etc.
He’s the bloody CEO ffs.

First time in Africa? That isn't not how the CEO of an SOE is allowed to operate

What is your point? In your opinion is De Ryter not doing his job? Trying to get a dumpster fire that is Eskom on track? Would any cANCer cadre be better. How many CEO's have there been since load shedding started in 2007. It's been a long history of corruption and incompetence. But when things are well and truly falling apart he comes in to try save the mess left behind by corrupt thieving cadres. But because he is white he has a huge target on his back. Or am I according to you wrong.
Do you feel all the cANCer cadres had it under control at any point.
Like the 2 new power stations that are years overdue and billions over budget. You know all under control.

De Ruyter is so useless, that cities etc are simply not complying with load shedding, and this useless CEO literally does nothing,

Turn them, the **** off. If some country/city/company doesn't pay the bills, cut them, the **** off.

I dont pay my power bill, and within a day or two, im getting, you guessed it, shut the **** off.

But no, the useless CEO does **** all, simply resulting in the cities that are complying, getting hit with 2-3x the amount of load shedding they would of got if every country/city/company buying power from Eskom, would you know, follow the ****ing rules, like everyone else does.

But no. So far ive just seen things like people from Cape Town with no ****ing clue whats going on, thinking they are getting load shed as much as everywhere else, my god.

Keep the lights on, fix the damn thing. Can he do it, yes or no?
He can’t do it, he needs to fck off.
He also has a history of leaving companies worse off than it was when he joined.
 
But he is right. Andre talks about solar and wind but has so far refused to connect them. When the heck will that happen. Its been 2 years now and still none.
 
It's really not often that you hear that reactive repairs are better than doing planned maintenance! We've got where we are today through a lack of good planned maintenance. That said, I'd like to hear what the problems were with the brand new power stations that went offline. We have not really heard a thorough unpacking of that, and it probably warrants an independent investigation. Was it just negligence, or also attributed to routine maintenance that did not take place.
