Andre was never employed to stop loadshedding entirely. Only build the foundation to stop this state of limbo... he's been mandated to divide Eskom into three entities: Generation, Transmission and Distribution. That's it, he won't stay long after that.

Because he didnt bother to sign a single independent power producer or green power producer like he promised us. Now he brought back loadshedding so he can force through his 20% increase plus 5% backpay.

At the end all this extra money gives them bigger bonusses for achieving targets.

I dont think he is any better than the previous Eskom bosses, yet soo many are blindly following him.
Umm. Yeah, no.

De ruyter can't sign those agreements because they don't exist due to uncle gweezy's hard on for coal..

Everyone that tries to shoot De Ruyter down doesn't have the balls to even have tried to be in his shoes. Nobody wanted the ****ing job. Black qualified candidates backed off. Whitey took the job. With a pay cut.

So now that he's battling with a cesspool of never ending legacy corruption and fraud everywhere..... Cunts say he is useless.........

De Ruyter is a hero. Remember, he is there to fight and cleanse ESKOM of corruption...and try and keep the lights on at the same time. So he's got a huge pile of **** to balance every day. What a kak job :sick:

Great, there are reasons why he didn't achieve what he set out to. How about an appraisal that shows how much was actually achieved? Did he achieve 5%, 50%, 90%?

I'm on the fence about the guy in general.

On one hand he has reduced Eskom's debt dramatically. He also has seen Eskom through one of the most economically disruptive periods in living memory.

On the other hand he has catastrophically failed to address load shedding in any meaningful way. Losses through unplanned breakdowns are higher than ever with seemingly no concrete plan to make up that lost ground. Excessive increases year on year are ridiculous. I basically pay double what I paid for electricity 5 years ago with ever-degenerating service delivery.

Now that the COVID mess is easing across the world, and that excuse is evaporating for him, I'd like to see what progress he makes towards improving Eskom's generating capacity in the coming year or 2.
