Eskom wants to retrench 500 white maintenance workers

Solidarity says Eskom wants to retrench 500 white male employees — most of which do maintenance work — in the next two years.

The organisation’s legal team has issued a legal letter to Eskom calling for a moratorium on race-based appointments at the utility to help address the power crisis. Solidarity chief executive Dirk Hermann said the EE plan did not reveal how Eskom would address its skills challenges but was all about skin colour at various job levels.

“Eskom should now focus on one thing only, and that is not race, but power. South Africans do not need race targets but light in their homes and power for their businesses.”Hermann said that race-based targets discouraged existing Eskom staff members and also implied that competent white persons could not apply for jobs at the utility to help solve the crisis.

This is nothing other than racism

WTF? 🤦🏿‍♂️

So the only hard workers must go. Interesting. When they go we will have no electricity, brilliant step back. This proves that the ANC and Eskom want the grid to collapse.

Good plan... Worked so well for them the last time they purged expertise based on race

Ah yes bring inore people that is not skilled enough and the skilled workers the loss that intelectual property lost. The chances they going to train their replacement is probably not going to happen

There are still 500 white people at Eskom Wel my fok. That in itself is news to me.

Like every morning you wake up to something crazy. This is what living in a Banana Republic must feel like.

Eskom should get rid of the 500 most incompetent enployees. White, Indian, black, blue, transparent...

I don’t believe a word of this

hlubi_lindelwa

And thats the plan from the VoetsekANC to end loadshedding. VoetsekANC will make sure that the country will end up in complete darkness and collapse totally VoetsekANC voetsekramaphosa voetsekgwede dont care for the country or the people. Useless corrupt

Back to the Frog in the pot … The Eskom will go down the drain even faster .. and we will eventually have No Power al all.

Support Eskom like you do Dischem.

As for white

Why are we even surprised......

fan fucking tastic.

This is not about race can't believe SA still thinks about it our country is going to fail even more

U really can't make this shit up!! When we need all hands on deck 😡😡

A leopard NEVER changes its spots... because it cannot! How much experience do these employees have?

When did my broadband start lying

Finnaly De Ruyter will now be criticized by Whites.

Wth is going on…

Great.Permanent load shedding to follow

Clickbait. You should be ashamed of yourselves

That’ll put an end to load shedding

I think retrenching any maintenance workers at a time like this - irrespective of their skin colour - is indicative of immense stupidity.

Bwahahahaaaa. They are the ones doing the work. Hilarious

That's what the whites are crying for, retrenchments, they have got it

Are you fucking kidding me? Another MYANC -mandated BEE fulfillment whilst GwedeMantashe1 spouts nonsense like 'Eskom should hire more skilled workers' This is the left hand being completely aware of what the right hand is doing, but continuing with the anal probe anyway.

Let them do it and see how it all falls apart ! Absolutely zero knowledge of anything around them 🤦🏻‍♂️😒

I knew that is their agenda at tbe end, get us out so that we must suffer more while others lives in a luxury times
