You got it wrong. He will blame his predecessor 😂

😂 😂 happiness is medicine.

Why do you think he fail?

Pay is probably good

He can always pawn his R4m watch and live happily ever after when things go pear shape.

Has a free hand at stealing

He’s excited about his next watch after eating at the eskom trough

With a CTC like that... I’d smile too.

He was like this when he took over Tshwane 😭

The future of Eskom is in he's hands . We are only count the promises . And it's too early to judge him

It may be an electric chair but there is no electricity unless you haven’t noticed

Excited to be part of the gravy train 🙄😭

I like the confidence

Of course he’s excited he’s being paid millions to close his eye on the ongoing corruption in Eskom and mislead the citizens of South Africa 🤬 why would he not take the blame

But what exactly are you saying? Your statement sounds as though there is a specific expectation. The minister has just assumed his duties, in all fairness the least he can do is to smile and be positive and be the project manager and not political manager. Let’s support him

He is in it for the coin. That’s why he is smiling. PS: his buddy (and fellow eatist) will soon be no.1. Nothing to fear. Oh those happy alliances forged in the Tshwane days! And PresidencyZA is clueless.

He’s new. He’ll learn. Or maybe he knows someone or something that will miraculously fix everything?!!! 🤣

Because there's no accountability, so what does he have to worry about. Poes gets a fat pay cheque in any case.

A man can't just be happy. This is is a happy chappy. He cannot be faulted for that.

I cracked at one of his interviews. He has no plan. Ramaphosa made it quite clear that this was a political appointment. How the F will politics keep the lights on? This is a human rights matter. South Africans are gatvol. We want our power or we will stop paying taxes!

He believes he can make it happen. If he believes he's got my support

I've watched a few interviews of him discussing our power challenges; this guy knows what he's talking about Strange as it might sound, I have a lot of confidence he will succeed. You can't solve a problem you don't understand or misdiagnosed. Come 2024, I'm voting ANC.

He is excited about earning a salary, knowing very well that he is clueless about electricity

The post comes with responsibility and accountability. He accepted all this. We wsnt reliable electricity

Who's gonna fill his vacant post now

Earning millions a year for a problem I don't have to fix, (because Cyril & co don't want it fixed) would also make me excited. Blame is not a real thing, its just words & feelings. However, the money is real, hence the excitement.

thinks he can cure a patient on an advanced stage of cancer

Probably like water off a duck’s back. Everyone else before will be blamed and it’ll take 18-20 years to fix the mess!

His smart he won't go that route

He doesn't care🤷‍♂️

we giving him 3 months...

He's ANC they have no conscience so feels nothing as long as he's eating at the trough with his ANC failures..

Slow learner

He's the right colour he knows he can't shout corruption & cyanide after taking smoke breaks for 3 yrs. He actually has to work on the problem. Unless he has already been promised a good post after this...

Wouldn't you be excited to know you will loot like there is no tomorrow?

That because he knows there's no pressure for him. His handlers have gave him a mandate already to continue to bleak eskom to the core and they'll back him up against criticism.

Aiii umajivane yena

It wasn't me.

He will never make it.its late.

... sign that he doesn't really!

Coz he’s in his bag with his ridiculous title that will see become extremely rich while we suffer. Nxa!

So maybe he can charm workers to work hard and effectively without corruption?

He does not care !! As long as the bank acounts grow and cash stash seems large.

The videos that were trending of him dancing are old Videos, now people want to twist things around. The man is used to challenges and will turn things around

He believes he can accomplish the daunting task placed before him, the past week I can see criticism about his wealth and now his confidence/Optimism, if that's the best you can do maybe we in good hands after all. Since he came on board loadshedding has dropped

He is happy because he is going to milk it like Gwede and Pravin.

Tlabe re le mo 💀

Since when has performance ever been of consequence to MYANC ministers?

It's hard to be a black professional in SA yaz

Maybe he is being optimistic☺️
