Ja it’s bs why in industrial areas on a work day. Sick of this load shedding bs.

Who els would like to apologise we see how many can and maybe we win a lotto in the process. Does the government think we the publuc is stupid. We the nation can change they way is run elections are fun

Apology not excepted. I am tired of Eskom and government's apologies. You guys are only good for one thing; being incompetent. What is the way forward. How do you plan on solving this without over billing the nation.

OPINION TIME: This man come and apologise do this man think a 'sorry' would put the power back on!! He must go and fix his powerstation! Every minute he stands there is a minute without power! Time is ticking... AlBawabaEnglish SAgovnews ewnreporter Eskom_SA

Stop apologising for all your ANCorrupt screw ups! You bloody Embarrasmunts cannot manage anything unless it has criminal intent or corruption aims. Period.

Perhaps he should just piss off. Him and his cadre has lost all credibility.

I think all the halfwits that voted for MYANC a couple of months ago, should apologize to the rest of us.

Excuses excuses. Do what you are supposed to do fix it Just fix it. You sound like a broken recording

We're sick to the core of your apologies. All we ask for is from all you Zupta cadres to fix this union controlled ESKOM, instead of wasting our taxes on your empty talks in parliament, heading without brakes to a full blast economic blackout!!

don't apologise, do the tough things and fix the problems

Moer annoying when politicians keep apologizing, take home their fat salaries and benefits and the same problems keep coming back. Lucky for them they don't get paid by performance else they would all be filing for bankruptcy.

You and Ramaphosa you deserve 🎖🏆for apologies

you cant keep apologizing if you keep repeating the same thing over and over- clearly then you not sorry!!!
