You can dismiss out of hand, why?

We all know the ANC was panicking when LS hit Stages 5 and 6 due to vote shedding occurring. They will do anything to stay in power. You really think the power situation has magically improved after De Ruyter left?

The most obvious explanation is the ANC has paid off the criminal mafia at Eskom until the 2024 elections.

I can dismiss it because it is nonsense as I stated in that response.
And no, the system didn't magically improve after De Ruyter left. Eskom have given updates on certain improvements which would be a result of work that was already on the go under Andre. I haven't looked at demand side figures but I suspect that would be on the lowish side as well.

When you worship at De Ruyter's alter, we had similar loadshedding levels during De Ruyter's time, I never saw you saying anything about cartels being paid off, why is it so difficult to just say, well done Cassim? must he change his surname to De Venter?

Talking about Eskom and Cartels, still not a single article on MyBb about how Cassim is turning Eskom around, looks like there is a concerted effort not to give credit where it's due, wenzeni uCassim?

Why don't you post something positive instead of being buthurt over nothing?

*my opinion on de Ruyter was always that he is just useless middle management at best.

I want this something positive about Cassim to be posted by MyBb instead of feeding us ridiculous amounts of De Ruyter's articles, is that too much to ask for?

Ok, look. De Ruyter failed his objectives (He admitted it himself), i.e. just failed.

And now, that suddenly load shedding stages evaporate within the space of a month or so (we go from Stage 6 to 2), we must go "Praise Cassim"? Don't you find this sudden turn even a bit suspicious?

And what's with your insistence on Cassim? Is there something about him that makes you go wild like this?

Really bad for the IFP. Anyone coming from the EFF would be indoctrinated with all kinds of commie BS. This is not someone you want.

You know nothing about KZN, the people from that country are all the same, they can move seamlessly between ANC, IFP, NFP, and EFF, don't be surprised to find that some of them were IFP members in their previous ivesand are just going back home.

On the forum? Most content is user generated.

I don't read or care about BS de Ruyter articles. I hope he is enjoying his vacation and never come back.

What updates have Eskom given on certain improvements out of interest?

And to be less "brief", the improvements are a combination of things, maintenance probably finally paying some dividends, a slightly increased pressure from government to reduce LS at all reasonable costs, and criminal activity slacking off somewhat.

To dismiss the fact that the criminal element within the Eskom ecosystem hadn't been weaponised against Andre de Ruyter (and even possibly Cyril) is to be incredibly fscking naive at just how self centred out political elite can be,.

Yebo, praise Cassim, who do you think the worshippers were going to blame if things worsened, De Ruyter?

No. There is an ideological shift between IFP that is pro zulu, which I approve of and EFf that is pro stupid which I don't.

No serious person that understands what they are doing can be part of the EFF

And Cassim, the guy was called a corrupt ANC cadre the minute he sat on Our Glorious Leader's chair by the worshippers.

He may have been by some people, for me he is at best a seat warmer to "hold the fort" until they find a replacement for De Ruyter. He won't institute any major changes, or make a fundamental difference to the organisation.

If Cassim was a Ruan De Venter, WEE networks would have been praising him for the turnaround.

Ideology? You give the politicians too much credit, most will just go anywhere where their next meal is guaranteed.
