How can Eskom 2.0 succeed if government couldn't run Eskom 1.0, SAA, Denel, and Transnet?

[Jan]

Ramaphosa's Eskom 2.0 plan — from a country that can't run SAA, Transnet, Denel, or Eskom 1.0

Energy expert Chris Yelland does not believe that forming a second power utility to compete with Eskom is a viable solution to the country's energy problems.

In an interview with Business Day TV, Yelland explained that the only possible solution to South Africa's energy crisis is rapidly building new renewable energy sources.

Only way to fix anything in SA

Remove government involvement.

He's right. ANC and African political parties are great are destroying but terrible at building or even maintaining the gems they "inherited" from evil empires.

"...from a country..." NO!
We can do it as a country - we just cannot do it with the GOVERNMENT we have.
South Africans have proven time and time again our capability in the face of poor odds.

It doesn't take an expert to come to the conclusion that Escum 2.0 will not work.
There are to many experts and not enough logical thinkers to get anything to work from government.

 

[Easter Bunny]

i'm not going to preorder eskom 2.0. i'm going to wait until they at least release the 2.1 patch.

 

[My_King]

Jirre, as ons dit moet vra gaan Eskom 3.0 ook nie werk nie.

"Ek wonder mos wat is die probleem"

I'm not paying for this.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

another failed idea from the morons/Idiots in the ANC,
why do people keep believing they can fix problems?

is this a real life example of confirmation bias? we all voted ANC so eventually the ANC will fix itself?

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

I'm not paying for this.

None of us are, Germany, UK, America and Saudi Arabia are funding it, well initially

 

[quax]

It is the easy way for them to loot more from the country...

 

[wingnut771]

Electricity is becoming too expensive on Eskom 1 Cyril, how much will Eskom 2 be?

 

[dualmeister]

Because the ANC is totally ....

 

[RedViking]

This time will be different.

MY FATHER WAS CALLED A GARDEN BOY AND MY MOTHER WAS CALLED A KITCHEN GIRL, THAT IS WHY ESKOM 2.0 WILL SUCCEED YOU RACIST.

 

[Anti-Chris]

How can it succeed? Easy 5 step process...
1. Appoint a competent board irrespective of race, gender and political connections.
2. Give them enough resources to build a proper power station.
3. Allow the board to appoint a CEO that is competent irrespective of Race, gender or political alliances.
4. Exempt the newly formed company from AA and BBBEE requirements.
5. Do not get involved in the running of the business at all.

Will it work? Most definitely... Wil it happen? Not a chance...

Its not the country but the party. The Zupta Party a.k.a. Sofagate.

Rest of the world making historic leaps in science, computing, engineering, medicine and astronomy etc. Africa still fighting poverty, crime, disease and of course corruption. Why is there such a great gap and divide?
