CAPE TOWN -
Energy expert Ted Blom blames Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter: “18 months ago, he said he would have all the plants refurbish and that load shedding would end. Earlier this year, he has come out to say he is not going to spend that money on refurbishing the plants and it would be a better investment to put it into renewables. Why are we now sitting with broken plants?”
Blom believes the emphasis on renewables was ill-conceived: “It’s even worse, because with renewables, they are talking about battery storage. There are no utility size battery storage plants available anywhere in the world. There is no country that’s running battery storage as backup.”
This guy should leave Eskom. He has dismally failed
As long as Eskom is being sabotaged by plugging in those useless IPPs , we will still have a black out in the next 100years.
Fill in the missing words. They'll blame it on MYANC because ____________. 25 Marks
Ay at this point fokofini, vote these people out man
BenJudah6 Get off the grid!
14 years later and the same story continues. Useless ANC
Under EFFSouthAfrica this would never happen, this man would be fired and ESKOM would be stabilized... Vote EFFSouthAfrica
This incompetent guy must be removed from Eskom.
sylviaireland Make it the next 30 years.
Same old story.
Cyril Ramaphosa who sat on the Eskom War Room on behalf of thugs like Glencore & Pravin Gordhan are the worst things to ever happen to natives. This is deliberate, they know exactly what they doing and what they want, blackouts every year but we pay 15% more for electricity!
Bullshit
I bet my last R5.00 that if he was a POC the media will be in a frenzy these past days, the civil organisations will be planning marches, innuendos of being corrupt & incompetent will be the talk of the day but no this is our special one, so nothing, he's doing a good job
boilwater01 Fire Dre please he useless nje
Capitalists send this one to make sure that Eskom get privatized.
It's worse than before empty promises plz do us a favor step down and let Mr Brian molefe come back and finish the loadsheding
This person has no clue of what he is doing. White privilege hides this de Ruyter's incompetence
koko_matshela 🙆🏾♂️
Wow so just because its a white man we must get used to it but if it was a black person he should be fired by now
Yet a 1000 gives you 250 units😏 vote for who again
So when is he getting fired?
I love the determination 😂
The face of loadshedding...
PetersWonderboy This guy is useless!
When this guy came in he said that it will be 18 months, now it's 5 years... in the private sector he would have been fired already.
Is this the better 'tomorrow' the ANC promises again? Because 5 years is a liiiiittle longer than just tomorrow.
1ndile_madondo Even today I cannot figure out what's special about this guy which Brian Molefe and the likes did not get right, because we still having Loadshedding more like before? Is it the card that l don't wanna raise or what..🤷🏾♂️ Will coals become wet 4da next 5 years or plant sabotage?
At last... Load shedding has been given the correct face... 😅
Yah noh ANC is just incapable
I have read abt this disease in one of the tweets above. Tis called LUPUS. Self-destruction of some sort. The golden white boy has now been school in miseducation as rastafarians call it.
We can't keep on spending on something that isn't help, cut IPP and save our infrastructure at all cost... IPP it's draining us for nothing!
Kanti how are those IPP contracts that worth billions of Rand helping 🤔
The day we fire this CEO will see freedom...
💩loads of BS(bullshedding) Can a real slim shady stand up.
Sies
Does that fit into government's national development plan..
Saze sahlukumezeka
White privilege!
Now, can the media give us all the reasons to blame this white dude just like they did with the previous African CEO's.
We never making it out the hood
Every year it's the next 5 years...what happened to these so called powerships and IPP's btw?
Why we still keeping this CEO then 🤔🤔🤔 what are his KPI’s?🤔
He's not important if that's the case.
ANC
DeruyterMustFall This guy is incompetent and no one complains because he's white. 5 years is a long this me and instead of coming up with a solution, he tells us this get used to their incompetence. Brian Molefe had done away with load shedding. This man is a pandemic
That's the actual plan of a 'CEO'? Wow
Vote ANC
