How Eskom was destroyed

As South Africans are once again dumped into darkness, many are wondering how Eskom went from the most efficient power producer in the world to a company which cannot keep the lights on.

To answer this question, it is necessary to look at Eskom’s past and what happened to destroy the company which won the Global Power Company of the Year award less than 20 years ago.

The moment you stop hiring/keeping the best person for a job you get rot..

Be it, a friends of a friend hire/placement, or other political reasons... if you stop hiring on merit you open yourself for the negative.

A more apt headline would be, How Eskom was decolonized

This is wat happens if you appoint people based on the colour of their skin and not merit.

Unfortunately the lesson has not been learnt

I'd say it's more political affiliation than skin tone. Plenty pale people benefitting from ANC rule.

At least they pay tax

• A change in Eskom’s ownership model and governance.
• Accelerated BBBEE, which resulted in fronting and losing skills.
• Cadre deployment.
• Political interference.
• Grand looting and state capture

Someone actually admits it
