Put Ramaposa in charge of Eskom. I want to see something ...
Why so he can just look at everyone destroying it? Because when Zuma was president that is exactly what he did. Just watching Zuma destroy the country.

Getting rid of De Ruyter would put ESKOM deeper into the K@K. While he has been at Eskom’s helm, load-shedding in South Africa may have worsened substantially, that’s because he was put in charge of a sinking ship. I pity the day if they get rid of him then there is no hope for ESKOM. I wouldn’t like to be in his shoes.

If they remove him and put in a "politically acceptable" candidate in his place, you can be damned sure that all and sundry in Civil Society and the opposition political parties will have the government in front of a court of law to justify the choice and it wouldn't surprise me to see the choice overturned.

Should add that incapable and inept Lynne Brown on the RET list as well - she was instrumental in enabling the Guptas access to Denel (via VR Laser) - https://mg.co.za/news/2022-02-02-lynne-brown-went-the-wishes-of-the-guptas-state-capture-report/
She was also instrumental in ensuring Koko was ensured his seat at Eskom whilst the looting was rife - https://www.timeslive.co.za/politic...brown-the-guptas-minister-who-captured-eskom/ & https://mg.co.za/article/2016-11-30...ment-of-matshela-koko-as-acting-ceo-of-eskom/

Also interesting to note that 4 people from ABB have been arrested in connection with Koko enabling Impulse International, partly owned by Koketso Choma - his stepdaughter, to receive very lucrative contracts from ABB (Asea Brown Boveri). https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/eskom-dodgy-deal-four-arrested-for-allegedly-scoring-kickbacks-in-multimillion-rand-contract-2022-07-12#:~:text=Two%20former%20employees%20of%20engineering,at%20Eskom's%20Kusile%20power%20station.

When can we expect the Zupta's back in SA. Maybe we can recoup some stolen money to fix Eskom.

Those were just useful tools for the Zuptoids, she and others are now useless and are accordingly discarded, not like you will see anyone saying Lynn Browne for President or some other important position.

Viva, Brian Molefe, viva. He at least bought every one a round of drinks and a pot of curry at The Saxonwold Shebeen. What has ADR done for us? We must eat.

Just because they are useless discarded trash, doesn't mean we should forget who the individuals were that are directly responsible for tearing the SA we love apart. Irrespective of whether she is actively involved in the current political sphere or not, she is 100% a RET member and should be held to account as much as those who are currently trying to rip SA to shreds in the name of politics.

At COP26 last year, several rich nations, including the United States and the United Kingdom, announced $8.5 billion in funding (R145 billion) over the next three to five years to speed up South Africa’s move from coal to clean energy.

However, the ANC, through its investment vehicle Chancellor House has stakes in the yet-to-be-completed Medupi and Kusile power stations
I'm really surprised Chancellor House hasn't "invested" in a Green Energy BEE Startup that builds 1 single wind turbine (or rather gets someone else to build it and just takes a cut) and then charges Eskom R144 999 000 000 "consulting fees".

That is probably why they want to get rid of Andre, he is blocking poor BEE startups in the Green Energy sector.

Clearly all his fault, Eskom was 100% before he was appointed right?
Andre is/was also very clear what needed to be done to fix the situation and his biggest ask was for additional generation which was mishandled by the DMRE.

Our power plants are mostly old and abused and close to end of life. Fixating on "fixing" them is the wrong long-term strategic solution. Eskom doesn't have money (see Zondo commission) to build new capacity so new capacity must be build by the private sector. Andre is very clear on it and open for it. But he is being let down by government...
