While Eskom's outgoing CEO André de Ruyter believes Stage 8 load shedding is the worst it will get, the utility's new board looks set to fail in one of its first targets: to achieve an energy availability factor of 60% before the end of March.South Africa has been hit by prolonged Stage 6 load shedding, due to multiple unplanned breakdowns totalling over 21 000MW.
Combined with planned outages for maintenance at 3 566MW, more than half of Eskom's installed generation capacity was unavailable – a new record. South Africa is now the closest it has ever been to Stage 8 load shedding, which will mean no electricity for 12 to 14 hours a day.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism. Thereafter you will be billed R75 per month. You can cancel anytime and if you cancel within 14 days you won't be billed.
The 🤡 have no chance in succeeding.
Just exactly how did the board think they would achieve that target. By asking nicely. By reading the riot act. By offering bonuses. By using the latest MBA motivational techniques. By reinventing the science of engineering. I'd really like to know.
AG DE REYETER KAN SY STAGE 1 TOT 8 DWARS IN SY GAT OP DRUK WAT HET GEWORD VAN STAGE 6 SAL TOT WOENSDAG TOE HOU UHU HY MOET GAAN KAK PRAAT MET IEMAND WAT HOM SAL GLO ONS RAAK GATVOL VIR ESKOM SE LIEGERY DIE KAK MOET END KRY 😡😡
Good luck new Eskom board.😂🤣😅 We are soooo fcked.🤦🏼♂️
The model of what is called go slow, pretend to work then get paid exorbitant salaries: Eskom
They can do it, provided they bypassed their current procurement policies... for example, those Kusile Units with collapsed Flue Ducts can be fixed within a Month provided they hire a contractor sooner to manufacture those ducts.
Andre , jou tyd is verby. Eskom is erger as wat dit was voordat jy daar aangekom het. Pak op en gaan.
We have seen this before. The messianic new board that will magically fix everything. Then fail because they don't have a clue. And then of course after a round of blame storming. No accountability and no one gets fired. Nice being a Cadre.
As long as we have more than 15 million illegal foreigners things will always fail ànd that is a fact no matter kungzdaftiswa
I am shocked and stunned, didn’t think for one minute they would achieve that 😂
Eskom: Pre-94 produced 56 GW of electricity with only 17000 employees. 2023 produce 27 GW of electricity with 47000 employees. What went wrong?
This should have not been a problem to begin with. I love Mandela but he has a major role to play in the problems of South Africa
Stage 8 the worst it will get? Well what happens after stage 8 then?
The same board that refused to let the present management team attend their meetings, maybe if they had things might have not been so bad.
Lol 'he believes' they say
I'm a gobby old bag, but for once I'm finally beyond the power of speech.
What the hell is stage 8
There is no modern economy on this planet that will accept such low standards
Damn, how low have we sunk that 60% availability of an essential service for a company that had the monopoly and gets billions in bailouts, is now a target.
Don’t worry, they will give themselves a bonus for it.

Everyone at Eskom should get R3000pm basic + performance bonus. Maybe that will motivate them to do their fricken jobs.
eskomsalaryshedding , the highest paid sector in the country and they cannot fix a thing or keep it running let try this: stage 2,3,4 30% salary cut. stage 5,6,7 40% salary cut. see how quickly they fix this problem! Then governmentsalaryshedding
Why would the new ANC “Cabal Cadre” deployment meet any targets ?
Where do these 15 million illegal foreigners get electricity 🤔
The blame is now being shifted to Mpho Makwana. They got tired of blaming Gwede Mantashe. The endangered species is left untouched and getting all the necessary protection available, from the liveral media...despite his naked incompetence
If course it will fail. We only know failure in this country run by clowns
