Have to disagree. The masses still love them. Those who are gatvol are just those that have been gatvol since post 1994 sometime.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has appealed to the board of South Africa’s cash-strapped power utility to suspend its biggest electricity-price increase in more than a decade as the nation faces two more years of rolling blackouts.

Eskom won approval by the national energy regulator to raise electricity tariffs by an inflation-beating 18.65% and 12.74% for the next two years on Jan. 12. The first increase is set to take effect in April.

Why does he need to appeal to the board? The board is has to act on behalf of the shareholder, which in this case is the South African government.

Fcking BS journalism. These "journalists" and "news outlsets" are ALL just propaganda machines for the state.

Good idea Ramaphosa but they have to balance the books so will you also demand that they cut they bloated workforce?

He's acting like Eskom is a distant company.

You see, now Eskom is independent. Of course when it comes to them putting their cadres on the board and the management it is all good.

Now we're talking!

Fcking BS journalism. These "journalists" and "news outlsets" are ALL just propaganda machines for the state.

I tend to trust your opinion more because, well, you're a Prof!

Elections coming up. The more eskom screws up, the worse it gets for the ANC.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Why ask Eskom and not Nersa, the ones who approved it? This is just to say that he's trying to do the right thing, knowing full well that nothing will come from it.

Who would decline an 18% increase from their boss because it might impact the increases of others?

Can't we start an asswhole-replacement ie. Eskom sabotage gofundme?

Lets use the destruction of our national key points for the betterment of the county this time..

RamaRetard and co really wants to screw Eskom over, why would witholding money from Eskom be any solution at all, it'll just increase levels of loadshedding again.
Why don't he ask the ANC to stop stealing and govern properly for a change, or wait, they obviously African't..
