We must apologise to South Africans for 'avoidable' challenges - Eskom CEOEskom CEO Phakamani Hadebe has apologised to South Africans for what he called 'avoidable challenges' such as load shedding. Fin24 Already 6 power failures in 2019. Longest 35 hours. Everything in freezer ruined. AGAIN. November/December also 6 failures, longest was 41 hours. This time I am claiming from Eskom, including security guards I had to hire because alarm battery ran flat.Spoiled my holiday! Fin24 Avoidable. Running a power station takes the following simple steps 1 Water 2 Coal 3 Scheduled regular maintenance 4 Qualified on site staff 4 simple little steps per power station, and you could not get that right. Thats all, replicated across the installed stations Fin24 Yes but we will not allow that few people do evil the rest of us had to paid for it. zerotariffshike

YouTubeWhile Brian Molefe & Marshall Koko was still in charge at Eskom, loadshedding was stopped completely. But when they were illegally Purged by the Ramaphosa/Gordhan Cabal, it's back worse than before. Since Ramaphosa/Gordhan took over, all SOEs are being destroyed before our eyes During the loadshedding era of Tshediso Matona in Nov2014, there was no Ingula,& Medupi/Kusile. Today, Eskom has 6000MW from Medupi,Kusile & Ingula. Demand is 2% down. Yet we have stage 2 in summer on a Sunday. Mabuza &vHadebe have a case to answer - Matshele Koko The Ramaphosa/Gordhan Mafias goal is of course to sell all SOEs (Eskom, SABC, PRASA, SAA etc) to their White Monopoly Capital cronies for PEANUTS with MASSIVE KICKBACKS to themselves! The 1000s of retrenchments at SOEs are part of that plot. WMC don't like big wage 'expenses'
