Some want him in, some want him out, while the EFF, well the EFF just wants to ‘moer’ him for ‘moering’ Eskom

Expect to see a lot more of our understated Clark Kent-style Superman who is CEO of Eskom and arguably one of SA’s most polarising figures on your TV screens in future. Polarising, though, is an unfortunate pun for André de Ruyter, who has been anything but in the strictly electromagnetic sense, and under whose leadership SA is suffering record blackouts. Or is that whiteouts?

De Ruyter prefers we don’t refer to “blackouts’’, but if we have to endure them don’t we have the right to call them whatever we like? A quibble, though, when the country has been hit in the solar plexus by this latest round of load-shedding, and the certainty of much more to come. Where climate change offers the promise of a longer-term existential calamity, Eskom is an immediate threat, now.

Even if he goes, the horse has no horsepower left in it - it's declared dead. It's not André, it's Eskom that he found lifeless in the hands of the rulling party. No CPR, no intensive care can resuscitate this dead🐎. Got it?

None in their right mind would listen to any of the verbal garbage this lot sprouts all the time.

Probably because eFF not receiving any more kickbacks

EFF can't even moer it's way out of a wet paper bag...

The EFF is pissed off with him that he cut off the possibility for them to steal from ESKOM. EFFluent!

He must voetsek lo dodi

He should go and ride another dead horse and leave us with this one we will revive it

He called a utility a dead horse and old car that need to be replaced not fixed. Why is he still there. He should be working with those replacing the old car - IPP's

And we care what the EFF think? Share the VBS loot.

LISTEN | 'I won't resign of my own accord': Eskom boss Andre de Ruyter digs inEskom CEO Andre de Ruyter said on Tuesday that he was not going to be stepping down, despite growing criticism of ongoing load-shedding across SA. Shame ......mxm Whoever said De Ruyter must resign on his own accord is stupid. The man must be dismissed as of yesterday. If he was a black person he would not be here by now. Even though but you must accept that you're incompetent
