Eskom's Hadebe: We'll be with load shedding for the next 6 months

Speaking on Radio 702 on Tuesday, Hadebe explained: “It will be something that we will be working on to conclude at least for six months or so. After six months, it [load shedding] will be far less than where we are.”

Hadebe has also defended government’s decision to bring in external engineers from Italy to assist the beleaguered power utility with its challenges. “I think this [load shedding] is a challenge and everyone is aware of the impact it will have on the South African economy, and for that we are apologising. There’s nothing wrong about government deciding to bring in additional experts to come and assist in moving this forward. And I think it will be very naive of us to assume that we are the only ones who can solve this.”

Now officials will q to visit Italy sorting out contacts o and to buy designer shoes and clothing.

So this means they're selling eskom to the Italians

What about Afirmative Action and BEEE. Italians are classified as white you know. I’m sure there are many fired white ex Eskom employees that could sort out the problem.

Bull

At this point I don't really care where the engineers come from, as long as we get a plan so we can have safe, stable and affordable power for everyone then I'm a happy chappy.

This things of getting people to always fix our house problems is a problem itself, I hope we will not complain when we find them in our beds with wives

I don’t get this thing of always getting someone to help us fix, now is Italy to help us fix, we have best engineers in this country ohhh they have been corrupted

6 months, 2 years .... its been a week and I was not able to go to the petrol station or the ATM!

What year

NUM warms up to Eskom unbundling after meeting with RamaphosaPresident Cyril Ramaphosa has assured workers that they will not lose jobs when Eskom goes through an unbundling process. Ramaphosa also told the National Union of Mineworkers, during a high-level meeting on Monday held at the union's offices in downtown Johannesburg, that government did not have plans to privatise the ailing state-owned entity. This was expected from NUM,but the reality is that your president is displaying his divisive tendencies. Eskom has 46 000 workers, NUM has 15 000 members & your president decides to engage a union that represents 1/3 of the workforce. PNMaster_ How many parliamentary seats were promised to NUM at the meeting?
