R280,000 for a broom and R900 for a fluorescent light at Eskom

[Jan]

BEE increased the price of a broom at Eskom to R280,000 — FF Plus

The FF Plus said affirmative action, black economic empowerment, and putting neighbouring countries power demands before South African interests have brought Eskom to its knees.

Viva ANC!

Yeeah... They do make a valid point that especially institutions like the SOE's and BEE are part of the problem. Cadre political deployments make for poor management and add to how BEE is exploited.

The Black Business Council are very quick to blame De Ruyter for all problems but they will never point out the BBBEE corruption.
Want to take a knee?........Pathetic

Pity that very expensive broom could not sweep clean : the organisation is dirtier than ever.

 

[Illegal Allien]

It wasnt BEE that increased the price, that was result of corruption.

 

[Mekon]

African excellence and all that. A win win isn't it?

 

[dualmeister]

Wasn't it R235K for the broom in the previous article?

Ja...where is all the gobbing off from the brothers in the BBC etc...

 

[PaulMurkin]

And how much does De Ruyter get paid?

Yes, the value changes because most journalism is thumb-suck anyway

 

[LCBXX]

So...anyone criminally charged yet?

 

[My_King]

Was expecting the light to be R280 000 and the broom to be R900.

I don't understand Africanacity.

I don't understand Africanacity.

Even me could have spun some light frequency story or specialist parts for the light, although maybe the broom can fly

 

[PaulMurkin]

The point it is just some fluff to write about for the journos and a talking point for the whitey political parties. Nothing gets done, just moaning and outrage, quickly to be forgotten when the next round of LS starts

At least poverty is getting less, more jobs are being created, schooling is available to everyone, people can finally afford to eat and basic services are available to everyone, and everyone is now protected from crime and injustice.

It wasnt BEE that increased the price, that was result of corruption.

And please elaborate which mechanism is used in procurement to allow such exorbitant pricing to be acceptable.

 

[dualmeister]

So...anyone criminally charged yet?

They got a promotion.

It wasnt BEE that increased the price, that was result of corruption.

Is there a difference?

Apparently we don't do that here, they just get suspended with full salary and they get added to the list of corruption probed by the Zondo commission.
