When Eskom load-shedding will stop

Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has laid out what is happening at Eskom and how they plan to fix problems at the state-owned entity.

Eskom has implemented stage 2 load-shedding for several days in a row in South Africa, causing massive frustration for citizens and businesses.

load shedding will stop?

when all the incompetence is thrown out the door, the bribes are confiscated, and all the equipment is overhauled/upgraded to highest standards.

when will it happen? honestly? never.

"All senior managers in Eskom have been asked to cancel their leave and personally visit power stations to see what the state of affairs is."

They should be told, not asked.

Make me read all that to say it in the last paragraph.

Loadshedding will stop when the monopoly is lifted; Corruption and mismanagement will automatically cease due to competition in the market.

WTF ?

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

never

 

[R13...]

Sad that their managers need to visit power stations to find out what the state of affairs is. Well then what the hell have they been managing that they have no idea what is going on at their power plants?

No, only the ones who voted ANC is to blame.

 

[porchrat]

WTF ?

ooooh that isn't going to go down well. People are already angry about the power cuts, now our government is going to blame US for it?!?!?

South Africans didn't cause this. Mismanagement and corruption in government caused this.

That is only pausing rolling blackouts(call it that it really is). We still do not know then it will end.

"Additionally, between 15 December and 15 January no load shedding is expected due to businesses shutting down."

Hmmmm

 

[deesef]

So about 25% of the capacity is down due to poor maintenance, mismanagement and stealing.

Also, staff numbers have increased drastically over the last decade, but there are "insufficient skilled workers"

Gravy train se Moses

Didn't they get rid of them all ?

Hmmmm

Ya, what a damn lie. They managed to have Stage 2 load shedding on Sunday when almost all businesses were closed anyways. Bunch of moegoes.

Lol that sounds like a statement Eskom makes on a daily basis. They have been telling us daily the probability is high and then they always do loadshedding. If they say they don't expect loadshedding then I'm pretty sure that it will probably happen a couple of times during that period.

How did I cause this as a citizen? By pilling my bills promptly, or by not stealing electricity?

 

[RedViking]

So no load shedding from 15 December.

So no load shedding from 15 December.

One can only dream. I think they'll maybe just drop it to Stage 1 just to keep pissing people off.

Probably swapped the racist whites who could actually do the job, with a bunch of cousins and brothers who can do 'uckall except strike and steal.
