The Black Business Council has thrown its weight behind calls for Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter to resign.

JOHANNESBURG - The Black Business Council has thrown its weight behind calls for Eskom CEO André de Ruyter to resign.

The council believes de Ruyter failed to keep to his word that he would turn the power utility around.He joined the power utility at a time when it was riddled with ageing infrastructure, structural defects at its power stations and corruption.More than two years later, de Ruyter's ambitious targets have come back to haunt him.

The wild Big Blacocks , should focus their attention on the ANC , its their orgy this ESKOM racket job.

The Black Business council are probably pisssed off that the Tenders have dried up.

Eskom is unrepairable it seems

What weight? More like fat cats

Only because he is white.

You mean the RET Brigade has thrown its weight ....

No matter what CEO they get the aim is to create conditions that will force the government to consider privatisation. The capitalist vultures are ready

MountainEagle3 Every sane person should

With immediate effect

Of course they will, the criminal syndicates are coining it, and don't want to be closed down...so get rid of the one man that is a major threat to them.

Same Black Business council failed to support blacks when they were on top positions mos

This Black Business Council is 💩💩💩And its a 🚩🚩🚩🚩

What weight? An irrelevant body which adds no value or substantive solutions can't dictate such. They must stick to factional political battles as is their primary concern

This a not Soccer games. You can't keep changing the refs to win when the games are already rigged. Trust me. Soon and very soon with or without Andre Eskom will be privatised. You will know who sold it... The deal has already been done.

Black business counsel are owned by the Guptas

thulanic Makemke

So in their minds, De Ruyter is the cause of blackouts? And, they sat on their fat behinds while Optimum/Tegeta/Guptas dried and emptied Eskom coffers💔💔 The Lil basTITS💔

Black Business Council 😂🤣😂👉👉👉💯🤡

BEE council..

This much weight

They were very quiet during the looting years!! Zero accountability + consequences! Now suddenly … they have a voice + opinion!!

Politics in such a delicate matter is distasteful. I guess the answer is to bring in another CEO who will start from scratch and hope he will do a better John?😬

Is this about the race🤔... because Andre de Ruyter was asked to keep afloat an already sinking ship, so why blame him instead of the crooks from the ANC who created all this mess. Blame the people who for years and years voted those crooks to be in power !!

Black Business Council now feeling the tenders disappear

BBC = RET

The only weight they carry is the weight of all the money they have stolen from the poorest of the poor in SA , a useles bunch of corrupt and incompetent black tsotsis !

Because of them that eskom is what it is

Is that heavy weight around the waist. No teeth, go away

Of course they would. de Ruyter is cutting back on corrupt tenders.

No, he is a solid pair of hands who understands fin&mgmt.Pity political interference ties one hand behind his back.What is needed in parallel is a person who understands generation,who has designed, commissioned, tested, constructed, procured, operated and maintained power plants

Black business counsil probably want to get their hands ons some money to steal as always

We could take advice from real business persons, but the BBC, how can one be serious....just plain entitlement!

I heard fhis white man saying he is not going anywhere, he says he spoke to Jamnandas and Ramaphosa, so he will not resign at all

So what other practical solutions do they have? Apart from the race card that does not really achieve anything constructive...

So Mr. de Ruytwr resigns! Who the hell do u A..E H..ES WANT BACK? THE RET (RADICAL ECONOMIC THEFT HYENAS?) TO TO ROB DESTROY PILLLAGE AND STEAL WHAT FEW CRUMBS MIGHT BE LEFT? DON'T BE ABSURD W⚓s!

Eskom CEOs episode is like football club management firing coach after coach keeping the same players thinking miraculously results will come.

The Black Bussiness Council is just another name for the BLACK AFRICAN MAFIA SYNDICATE...The taps have been closed ...and the budget on Luxury Cars is now too small.🙄🙄🤣

Eish cos they want to replace De Ruyter with a black guy....cos all the previous black CEO's at Eskom did such a great job....

Because he's reining in the corrupted?

The BBC just want to be in the spotlight of others. Shame on you'll!!

They'll want to bring papa action back, I'm sure

The black business council? What rubbish is this? Is there a white business council? If not then maybe one should be formed.

Andre has failed!

How do you blame one person...when there's a criminal syndicate that will continue to destroy Eskom😳😳vukani maannnnnn. Your call should be for an investigation of Eskom

And replace him with who ?

Still waiting to hear from Black Business as to who they think who’s better than Mr de Ruyter to clean up the mess that was caused by Zuma and Co

The combined intellect of that organisation couldn’t put a torch battery in correctly

Where is 5billion that just vanished? Why take a guy with no technical skills on electricity to make him engine of fixing Eskom… his not qualified….

How many previous black ceo's whom were scared to fight corruption at eskom. De Ruyter took the bull by the horns to fight corruption that is still continuing even today. What is happening at eskom is sabotage by black people who are protecting their fellow corrupt friends.

Begging for crumbs...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What exactly has the black business council done that provides this “weight” it is””has supposedly thrown in….

The ANC must go, Eskom is not the problem, the ANC is... failed pwbsmilinginhisgrave

Andre de Ruyter won't resign. He's not a coward. It's not in his DNA to run away. The only reason the BBC want De Ruyter gone is because they cannot get their illegal tenders anymore, that's all

If I were him I would think stuff the lot of you. You expect me to snap my fingers and suddenly eskom is going to be up and running after years of neglect,theft and incompetent anc cadres. Now you can just carry on. Byeeeeee.

He is closing the taps taht youve been gettingrich off... thats why

This gut was fired from his previous job for also failing

South Africa's energy crisis started long before the arrival of the new CEO. Even without corruption, SA was always going to run into problems. Most countries started with their energy supply development and implementation plans decades ago. We were busy with the 2010 World Cup.

Black Business Council was quiet when the destruction of Eskom was taking place and are quiet about the illegal strike and sabotage at Eskom! Clearly DE Ruyter isn't allowing nonsense at Eskom.... He must continue to fix it.

Let's say the CEO is removed. Exactly how is the new CEO going to resolve the situation?

The South African energy crisis is way beyond the control of the CEO. Anyone who believes otherwise displays a clear lack of real understanding of the dire situation.

Why do we still have organizations such as Black Businesses Council in a democratic SA. Give 1 reason why Orania should not exist in a democratic SA?

The CEO of Eskom is not the problem , blame ANC cadre deployment policy which is illegal & unconstitutional

Did The lights also go out in the leafy suburbs were they live as well? What brought about this lucid thinking ...

BBC has no credibility. Zero

Andre, get a better position where else, this guy's don't like white on the top of ANC government institutions, you are wise and educated, let those people that think they are better take control Don't stress about this circus, Let Guptas allies take over,you're sabotaged by them

If any body cares what they think ….

Sane Black Business Council which had Danisa Baloyi as its head? That BBC? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Lol who gives af what they call for!

😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Twits

Weight? 😂

He must resign. He found the utility is bad shape but under his tutelage, it is crumbling to its knees.

Bizarre, the unions and cadre deployment are responsible for the loadshedding, not him. Just politics

Mnr DeRuiter asb ons kan nie meer so sonder krag aangaan nie ons mense moet werk toe geen klere .En alles gaan op dit is n gemors .U moet strenger wees asb ons het krag nodig dringend in Alberton Gauteng Baie Dankie Groete Ina

Eskom should publish their staff compliment,their job descriptions,qualifications,salaries and let the public the decide on Andre..if he is managing a winning team then he must go,if not sorry for the BBCouncil….

Oh tell them to focus on their own businesses- the ANC mucked it up

Feather weight.

Well of course they will. Some of their members were /are heavily involved in looting. De Ruiter closing taps on their illicit income.

We have been without power in our area for days. Eskom lies and says it is fixed when it is not. You cannot connect to a human, just a dumb computer that spouts various pre programmed replies. Numbers given on Eskoms website do not exist. Why the cover up?

Is there a word like ' idiotocity'🤣🤣Are these black bussines folks for real?

Please tell me what exactly the bbc do? What is their mandate?

Clearly he doesn't know anything about electricity, he's paid to keep the lights on not lights out

BBC=vultures for scraps the ANC cadres dont bother with.

Catch a wake up BBC...this man has been the only man to have the guts, knowledge and non currupt ethics to change ESKOM...blame your useless ANC.

The would. It's the union people who's burning down these stations. Creating an unmanageable situation. Yet. Rutter has still managed to provide power. Things are not working for BbC..

Lol the Black business council should hand in their resignation if they had a shred of dignity

The black buisness council must tell us what they are doing to assist with the situation. Because we know exactly why they want de ruyter out. He must not go anywhere!

Imagine if there was a white business council. Surely there is no place for a council based on race?

How will thát end the loadshedding problem? Why did they not get rid of Zuptas and corrupt Escom management in time?Understanding the situation in full needs a whole lot more critical thinking (Escom history)&forward thinking to try&save an already sinking ship.Hats off to Andre!

They're too late to join the public. Maybe their businesses are feeling the heat hence their stance.

So they simply believe to spray a little doom and eskom will miraculously be resurrected from the dead?

I would like that Council to name the replacement for De Ruyter. The CEO of any company have staff who are employed to do the work. But it's always been easy to make De Ruyter the scapegoat.

And the White Business Council ?

Shame and who is gonna then run it as it was oroven all thise before him enriched themselves. At least he didnt steal from us. But ..... if they dont have bread give them cake, ne .. before they steal that too.

Yes they want him out because the tap is dry that's why we a lot of sabotage at eskom

Sounds like a racially motivated call to me. In that case.....

Africans😂😂 They f up everything they touced in this once beautiful cuntry!! One can only laugh😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Who do they have in mind to replace him? Someone who will again buy magical mops for ridiculous prices? The problem with Eishkom started when maintenance and upkeep stopped, and that wasn't 3 years ago...

That's something they should have done long ago.

They clearly don't understand business & resources management & engineering. All their black buddies destroyed Eskom. It's all politics. Cyril should stand up for Eskom management & say he supports them.

The only reason they want him out is because he is white. Eskom was already captured when he came in, get rid of him and I guarantee we will live under stage 6 as a norm.

Even RET faction don’t take Black Business Council seriously. 🤣😭😂🤣😭😂

The White Business Council (illegal to be established because it is racist) calls for Gwede to be fired.

When a previous CEO said “thou shalt not load shed “ is when it all started going downhill you can’t run a car without found a service , repairs and maintenance

Why didn’t they do this with the ones put there by the previous President

He doesn’t have a solution for the persisting blackouts. So he definitely should resign!

They all always say that

Only because they are shit scared of him. He is a no nonsense, no bullshit educated CEO.

Who do these cats propose runs the show - I suggest Ivan Jim & Koko the clown ?

Oh my... as if the Black Business Council has anything to say, or contribute for that matter. I think they must start asking for the ANC to vanish, will be much easier.

Poor man. Between a rock and a hard place. Who’d choose his job

Off course they will

Show me one constructive project, job creations in township, scholarship, sport sponsorship, upliftment of communities this BBC had successfully engaged in?

Even if all of us in RSA can be Eskom CEOs we won’t get that thing to function properly it’s too late the ship was already sinking by e time when D got there

Leave De R alone please those thinking in that direction are lost n d wilderness that thing died decades ago e population has increased bt e power Grids are still e same how can it handle e demands loot e money into Eskom so it can be revived looters please

They just want to replace him with a brutha or sista that can help them get tenders. Nothing more. The gravy train has ended for them and now they are sad. Black buisness council is as useful as herpes at the playboy mansion

Andre De Ruiter must GO, it seems he doesn't know what he is doing, we have more blackouts since at the helm than any other CEO in the history of Eskom, his job was to fix Eskom by putting the lights on, now he is failing and he must GO

Andre de Ruyter is staying. Eskom is where it is now because of corruption and Tenderpreneurs. Thievery, Amasela

They will call for his head because they want some more criminals running it again so even more can be stolen. They should look past their racism for once and begin to do something for the people of SA.

The Black Business Council may be about many things. But business is not one of them

He has dismally failed the public

Useless this one

Why, is loadshedding De Ruyters fault when loadshedding started before he was appointed?

What weight? Belly weight?

Why does the Black Business Council want him to resign? Do they have a candidate than can destroy Eskom quicker?

Long overdue

If failure was a person

All the looting done before de Ruuter that has put us in this situation. You can’t save a sinking ship.

Did they say who's gonna take over, because before him no one wanted the job

Finally, someone at BBC can think now waiting for BUSA.

Nobody cares abt them .they has their chance n chose to sellout .

Even if the man steps down whoever will be appointed on his behalf he or she will still inherit the same shit this man found it won't be an easy task to fix this wrecked ship called eskom it will take years and years for us to have the lights on without no interruptions.

The guy is doing a great job. The whole Gauteng is in the dark.

So the black employees strike illegally and the white ceo must be fired? We definitely need a better education.

He is chowin cash whilst we cook with candles 🚮

It's time he goes. White men can't jump

Phambili ngo Andre de ruyter phambili he is not the problem the big elephant in the room is anc the cause of the eskom crisis,molefe,ngubane,Koko etc

The Black Business Council has thrown its weight behind calls for Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter to resign, and so should the ANC 👉🚪

Well then we're stuffed. What do they know?

If he retire the will be a change. I don't think so, the problem is a shakes they by electricity.

Is he the sacrificial lamb for the ANC's lacklustre mismanagement?

Why do we need a black business council after 28 years of ANC rule?

Where is the BBC's outrage at the sabatage and vandalism at Eskom.The cable thieves. The thieves with illegal connections? Getting rid of De Ruyter is going to achieve what? Who exactly is going to benefit? 🤔 They want the gravy train. Got nothing to do with fixing Eskom.

Good

What a joke. Buch of clowns. Imagine if there was a White Business Council!? Imagine the outcry! Africa is a shithole. South Africa has joined that whole.

Bbcouncil, do you want previous looters back?

This weird crook is at Eskom fo privatisation and money...

Where is that going to leave South Africans?Another stupid,unqualified motherf...cker will take his place and drive this country even deeper into shit.I'm very disturbed and angred writing this now...Who pays for this country to be....to actually BE?Us,you and me....Politcians?

Where did this is man study?, Numpak was the same story, lacks Management skills.

There are a lot of competent engineers of color who have been with Eskom for a very long time. They should take over. We cannot by sympathetic to Andre's skin tone at the cost of so many lives and businesses. He ought to go. Him and Cyril, out to go.

He really is not competent in running Eskom.

Need to employ youth which is so creative, competent, vibrant and they are so focused. Away with this old madalas yikes

So he was just supposed to wave a magic wand and fix years and years and years of corruption, mismanagement and bad service delivery results. 🙌🏼👍🏼. Cool. Totally possible👌🏼

There is nobody to replace him!

None of that is going to be help. The problem is way bigger than Andre de Ruyter. So long we have those hyenas called cadres, our problems are far from over 🤞🏽

Feather weight

Mxm! How will this help? So the corruption in ESKOM must be allowed to happen? Bottomless pit

It must happen in the next five minutes! He must resign,Finish!

F.k voort. Daar is geen salf te smeer aan die kk nie. What will be will be!

Can we hear what the Indian / Coloured / white business councils say?

Seriously! What was this man meant to do…? Wave a magic wand and fix the damage by looters, thieves and thugs? The only reason they want a resignation is because he’s given a crippled Eskom some order which they don’t want! They want Eskom to collapse!

Where were they when the crisis started

If a ship is sinking and i hire u to keep afloat bt it keeps sinking deeper, then u clearly failing on ur duties.... Get another captain tothe ship, someone wth a turnaround plan to drain the waters dt keep flooding the deck

EWN spitting out this type of nonsense. Numsa has caused so much damage why not attack them? They can now be described as a terrorist organization

The racists have squeaked again.

The one who appointed him will look away

De Ruyter is doing exactly what Pravin and Ramaphosa appointed him to do. Destroy Eskom so it can sold for 51 cents and he is on track!

Andre,, fuck them all ,.. all of them just there of looting.. They will eat themselves...

When the White Business council weighs in on it he might consider it.

He must go is worse

This was always going to happen. Loot the fuck out of the SOE, with plans for a deal with Nuclear power to replace the crippled infrastructure (like Prasa) then stick a scapegoat in at the last minute.

VusiSambo Black Business Council just want those tasty tenders back 😝

Both Andre and Jan are useless... they are destroying eskom and blaming it on sabotage, workers,previous managers, weather, Russia, Zuma....

Resign & then ?

When will EWN share the black business council’ s turnaround plan and CVs of proposed leaders willing to take on a poison chalice that carefully dismantles ANC policy execution honed over 28 years by cadres deployed across minstirea and regulators. Gossip?

It will be better if he resign he have failed. This is poor

Koko already said he doesn't want that position back, now what now?

Have they asked Mantashe to resign too - asking for 60 million South Africans

Bayanya

They can go to hell and back, they are looking at pilfering opportunities to feed at the trough like pigs

Yes old ANC Gov tactics put the Ruyter up for failure and throw him under the bus as the main culprit ,Koko and his daughter with the Guptas have shown us all the direction Eskom is heading to with total destruction ,ineffective then buying electricity from the Ramaphosa clan.

In two years?

So vele akekho one solution nie🤔...always resign...bring in d next one n if he doesnt listen to certain factions..resign 😏...jaa neh imali kwa Eskom yi ningi n it shows nje ku bangwa supplies ze coal,diesel etc nating else

And the Black Business Council had done exactly what for the economy of South Africa? Enlighten me please !

So that the Black Business can fuck it up more the way it was done for the last 28 years. South Africa never had loadshedding, but stealing and corruption is the sport of the ANC. So vote again for the ANC. Don’t cry now for you beloved ANC. Wake up and smell the roses😡😡😡😡

Black Business Council should not ask Andre de Ruyter to resign, they should tell those who appointed him to fire him because he has failed dismally at Eskom. That man is clueless, he is hopeless. What he knows best is to advertise loadshedding time and again

I honestly don't care who fixes the mess, as long as someone does. My only question is: if this was predicted 24yrs ago 1998. What has been done in the past 24yrs besides putting bandaids over bullet holes?

And who do they suggest takes over Instead of offering to help

BBC is suffering. DeRuyter has ended their tenderpreneur spree 😂😂

Liewe afriforum sien julle wat gaan aan Asseblief stop hierdie nonsens hulle LUISTER net as julle praat. GerrieNel kalliekriel Die is jare se moeilikheid wat DuRyuter moet ytsort

These ones are late always 🚮

Yes, resign. Lets get this shitshow going.

AGREE

Bring koko back: he is clever…

BBC is missing the 'donations ' they used to get from SOE's nx lamasela..

Are you talking about BBC representative who was comparing Eskom with SARS? How can you even start comparing the machine and 💯 admin work?

This man was tasked with stopping the South African titanic from sinking, which has been pillaged for the last 27 years by MYANC and he must fix in 3? BlackBCouncil get your head out of your ass.

After he resigned will things change

Pss off Black Business Council.

Why must there be a Black Business council, obviously racists. That is the problem of SA. The government are the racists because they support this BBC .

And to then replace him with … ? Some stooge of a kader?

Who actually cares what their opinion is?

Andre has done nothing wrong, the ANC government they are voting everyday is the main cause of this problem.

He must voetsek and that Oboloster.

CheetahPlains What weight? Those tenderpreneurs must shut the hell up.

Useless Black Business Council should rather dissolve or crawl back under rock they crawl out from. Pleasecall still fighting for his invention.We invented Mobile Money Transfer whch also ws borrowed &renaned by Vodacom-And Black Business Council was/is voiceless & hopeless.

Andre brought Nampak to its knees 😳 then rewarded Eskom CEO's job . Kuseknyeni esataflika

Andre DE Ruyter should resign so that these haters can dream of a SA free of loadshedding until the next fall guy comes along. De Ruyter inherited a ship that was sunk by the ANC long ago and his battle to keep it going will never be commended because of his skin color.

He must leave the country, he has caused us a lot because of his natural poor performance and ANC government does not see any wrong doing in his failure and incompetence

They should put more weight to sack the old incompetent Ministers.

They're sabotaging eskom to get their guy back in, so that the gravy can continue to flow.

Black Bussiness council has always on the wrong side of history. Rets calling themselves business people.

South Africans want everyone to resign.

This one must just go

Of course they did.

Anything with the name Black in,just ignore and use to wipe your ass with,big mouths were no were to be seen when the looting was in full force.

Can Black Business Council tell South Africa, at least they have tried to help Andre De Ruyter to work without hindrance hence they say he can't fix things.

It’s a good thing that unemployed experts (with an eye for the main chance) also have a voice.

Meanwhile White Council has completed building a solar farm in Orania🤔

If he resign there will be a total blackout

Does this BBC honestly think CEO is a problem at Eskom? He's been upfront with issues at Eskom, have they supported him? We are stealing and not paying for electricity, municipalities not paying, sabotage, etc, have they supported him, how SA is a mess coz of this 😔

Sadly white guy = fall guy, so when it does collapse the criminals running this country have someone to blame!

ThandekaPutin These nonsensical team of white people at Eskom must go now

Great idea.Whilst you are at it, fire the real culprits too. ● Cyril was responsible for SOE's and in particular ESKOM, in 2015. ● Gwede Mantashe has done the MOST harm anyone could have/can done to our PowerGrid.

He doesn't deserve the bullshit that these morons are throwing at him. They want him to resign most likely because he has been blocking their payoffs and he is trying to actually resolve problems at Eskom. Smh.

I'd say from minister, deputy, board and julle nyakanyaka must go HandsOffAaronMotsoaledi ReleaseHomeAffairsAuditReportNow HandsOffAaronMotsoaledi ReleaseHomeAffairsAuditReportNow

Black anything right now holds ZERO weight

This isn't only on De Ryuter. Atleast he is trying to fix things. He's atleast doing maintenance even if everything keeps on breaking as they fix. Plus Eskom has lots of internal corruption and vandalism to contend with.

He closed the tap ,that's why they want him out

BlackBCouncil hows about you throw your weight behind the right people & stop being racist! The WHITE BUSINESS COUNCIL should now be set up too & lets see who wins! Bet you'd cry racism then ne? FOFF & get an education. A white man was called in to fix a black mans mess! FACTS!

Demage is done noma sebengayeka uzophuma kanye no Ramaphosa 🧘🏾‍♂️

Botshel00375697 Cyril Pravin and Eskom board must go

They should rather try to negotiate with the striking workers and get them back to work.

The Black Business Council is part of the problem, they want to get rid of the solution. Welcome to South Africa where up is down, down is racist and stealing is a CV applicable skill

Unless they fire Gwede Mantashe, Pravin Gordan, ANC and Cyril Ramaphosa they not gonna solve anything. Eskom problem is bigger than De Ruyter

The Black Business Council have very limited memory of the previous 12 Council members that stole all the money in the previous 10 years were there members. BBCfukoff

LandDilemma BusiMavuso2 must do the same.

The Black who ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rhaaaaa that's White Business Council concealed as Black. Who doesn't know what a Coconut look like?

Lets start a white business council and fuck the black business council Sorry too my black mates but this is now bordering on the ridiculous

Cowards! What's this thing of resigning?! FIRED is the proverbial word they should be throwing their lightweight behind

Where the White, Indian and Coloured councils?

How do you fix a body if cancer has already spread! De Ruyters job is the most difficult in the world! Can someone please tell me; how do you fix an aircraft engine while it is on air? We expect this poor soul to perform miracles and we're not even giving him the support!

Do they believe it will be better

FireAndreDeRuyter DeRuyterMustGo

Mission incomplete nje

He is not to be blamed he inherited the problemsr

Oh no, that sounds serious 😂

Some things are so disappointing, it's hard been black and poor, you will be used to say convey nonsensical statements.

AndreDeRuytermustgo CyrilRamaphosamustgo PhalaPhalaGate

It won’t help wether we bring black/white/green/pink CEO,eskom problems are far beyond just employees,it’s all about the ruling party fucking up the operation,if things were to change 1st anc needs to die then South Africa will be a flourishing country

Who’s going to do a better job?!

I’ve never heard that lot cooong up with any other alternative or solutions except someone must resign! Listened to their CEO Kganki earlier and I thought they should have not bothered given the complexity of Eskom_SA situation!That titanic is sinking!

Pls!

Lol, who will have magic to rescue this already sunk ship 10 years ago! How many months that person will spend, trying to learn the complex operations?

I wonder, are THEY perhaps behind the sabotage taking place? 🤔

We saw what his predecessors did but they still busy tweeting here instead of having a permanent place behind bars in orange overalls...so you want to crucify the innocent while Barabas is roaming around free

And they are quiet when the likes of NUM & NUMSA sabotage Eskom so as to look as though he is failing. Talk about cutting your nose spite face.

Long overdue... 😌

Its not enough, they must be on the ground to mobilize.

Black Business Council 🤣🤣🤣

BBC is not sober minded about this issue, RET forces are doing all sorts of attacks targeting Eskom and main aim is to heat the 4 people namely president Ramaphosa, Andre De Ryter, Gordhan and Gwede Mantashe and collapsing economy, wake up community, even Eff help them

Why! There can't be much more money left after the looters have been.

Blk Business Council, UNIONS, some Eskom Engineers,Parallel Media houses,are all on IPP Capitalists payroll, please check credentials of pple asking for De Ruyters resignation,we are being fooled here,all these IPP handlers from WC and Masephe companies want ESKOM to fail!!

Prince of Darkness

Who gives a toss what those useless thieves want? They just pissed that the taps have been closed off

If fucken useless was a person.

Just as they have no doubt thrown their weight behind the condemnation of the illegal industrial action at the power stations.

Dont let them shake you Mr De Ruyter. Things are getting better. Thank you. It is only the non electricity payers that are complaying. Bet no one of the complainants will show a recently paid up electricity bill.

Really . And who should replace him ?

What does BUSA say, because that's the one that carries weight?

Who cares what they there weight behind. Why don’t they spend more time getting rid of this inefficient government or are they in bed with them as well.

Black Business Council is supporting South Africans that say The CEO must go... Same as Ramaposa PhalaPhalaFarmGate

Ai, lobby groups.

He shouldn't be there from the beginning, De Ruyter is calll Mr collapse he have collapse everywhere he's been to including Eskom, he was appointed at Eskom through white privilege card, he knows nothing

PhalaPhalaFarmGate PhalaPhalaGate ankolecattle Glencore

Why don't they throw their weight behind calls to sack incompetent and corrupt politicians?

White business council ithini yona 🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps the greedy CyrilRamaphosa should resign first⁉️🤬🤯

Why not bring all those who were at eskom during the so called state capture and tell them to fix their mess and continue the work with electricity every day. If they fail then prosecute them and sell their properties

Useless.

FloydMokwena1 What then? As if this is his fault. He's the victim here.

So from 28 years of mismanagement he must fix things in less than two years split eskom into three new entities without government support. Wow talk about unreasonable expectations.

And replace him with who exactly.That's their analysis ?

You better leave him than black CEO again

How will his resignation help with anything? He inherited broken infrastructure, his successor will be worse off.

Good

Futsek Ŕuyter.

Can we have those who wanna keep him never complain about load shedding? May we never hear those who wanna keep Ruyter swear that they'll never complain about load shedding and any other form of lack of service delivery?

SA politics, always playing the man and not the ball 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

The utterly useless and racist Black Business Council only exists to get their buddies into lucrative tender positions and cushy SOE jobs. Also remember no person wanted the job.

Why should he resign, so the looting can continue...?

SehlongSsydney He must resign

That's not necessary in real sense because he must have been fired long time ago

Botik61945648 Actually f%%k BlackBCouncil, they are a huge part of the problem just like trade unions and MYANC cadres

Funny how the same people blaming De Ruyter after a couple of years are the same people blaming Apartheid for the ANC’s destruction of the country.

He has no solutions anyway

Kak vraag....sit...dankieee.

What corrupt official would fill the post with background knowledge?

Like blacks could run anything better. Hasn’t BEE shown us they am cannot?

Unfortunately if the BBC managed to get rid of Mr Andre de Ruyter, the Eskom incompetent BEE management and terrorist workers remain, resulting in future total shutdown.

It's time Andre let go. His strategies are not working - things are getting worse everyday.

How heavy is that weight? I think other NGO's must also throw some few kg's

DLAMINI85142136 It took them years to see his incompetence

Let's be realistic. It's only because he is white and the BBC don't have their thieving comrades there. Who would you like to have in there. No one will have the ability to fix a dead horse. 🤐

Not news

If course they would .. they too condone theft, bribery etc and probably drink tea with zuma ..

But the corrupt Anc should stay in power. de Ruyter is just trying to save the sinking ship. I doubt anyone can fix the mess the ANC bestowed on eskom.

Did they suggest a capable candidate to replace him?

And replace him with who? Who will make the problem go away not worsen it like his liable predecessors? Rather pressure the VoetsekANC as a government to act. This is a state of emergency. Suspend all strike action with force. Make emergency funding available.

A council that wants to continue with the demise of the country.....or is it because the BBC is not getting any kickbacks from this ethical CEO?

The CEO going without fixing the structural issues around governance in this country will not solve anything. Engineers and artisans are not trained to fight criminals who steal cables, vandalise substations, etc. A maintenance and new build programme must be approved and imple

And then what ? BlackBCouncil Put someone there who will fix it all by next month. Please go make jokes somewhere else

This man wrecked Nampack.But hey his mandate is to wreck Eskom and sell it for R52 so he is doing exceptionally well.

BBC illustrating their level of economic illiteracy and racism again.

Black Business Council represents members getting dodgy inflated BEE deals. Lots of credibility right?

The guys who have no solution to the crisis want the guy who is trying to fix the crisis to resign. Did I get that right?

Who are they? The must go complain to Dubai and Saharanpur.

Can that guy resign pls maan

They must sit down if they're quiet about our government overloads.

De Ruyter took over the helm of a ship that had already struck an iceburg.. The water was pouring in when the others fled the deck..

East is East and west is west and never the twain shall meet . Never will Blacks accept or work with , support a white! Always undermining .

We're basically on stage 10. But, it's under a white CEO and the president who is white inside and loved by the media so the media won't say anything. Had the crisis we facing today been under Zuma and Brian… the white media would have been all over them. Eskom.

Black Business Council was quiet as a church mouse when all the corruption and malfeasance was happening at eskom. Suddenly they’ve found a voice? They were probably benefiting. That’s why.

Who cares about those racist small boys

So they really believe he doesn't account to his appointing authority, imposes himself & would take a mobilisation by unsanctioned organisations who associate with Koko and Molefe to get rid of him? One that hasn't said anything about reported destruction by the Zondo Commission?

He was handed a time bomb 💣 now he is expected to turn a turd into a diamond

How will this help?

Racist council

Where is the White Council?

Why resign, pay out the rest of his contract and let him go. He's got a contract

What is Andre HOLDING BACK to cause loadshedding?It doesn't matter who occupy that position, THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH ANDRE NOR SIKONATHI,but the problem is the ROT IN RULING PARTY anc! SOUTH AFRICANS WITH ESKOM LET'S LEAVE THE SYMPTOMS BUT DEAL WITH THE REAL INFECTION anc

Pathetic!!!!!

He must be fired not resigning
