'How on earth does government keep in office a so-called CEO who refers to a company he’s leading as a 'dead horse'?' asked EFF deputy leader Floyd Shivambu

Floyd Shivambu, deputy leader of the red berets, claims Eskom CEO André de Ruyter has 'killed' the power utility. File photo.EFF deputy leader Floyd Shivambu has taken aim at Eskom CEO André de Ruyter for calling the state-owned power utility a “dead horse”.

“There’s this lovely saying that you can flog a dead horse, and you can go one step further and change the jockey, but that won’t solve the problem. It’s more important to have continuity in management rather than to fall back into the trap that Eskom has been in over the past 10 years when we had 11 CEOs. This contributed to the instability in the organisation,” he said.

at least he is trying to fix what 'you' (collectively) futted up - so rather take that finger finger and shove it idgit - time for the 'producers' to come into power again and try to repair the decades of looting...

I wonder how much is his remuneration package vs the dead horse he is referring to?

...would've been fine if they kept one that was stealing, looting and not repairing anything that broke.. ..as long as he was Black, hey Floyd?

Afraid of the truth and your financial gains being exposed?

The jockey of a Dead Horse.

No leadership there by CEO just a dead horse himself.

He should have referred to it as a 'Slaughtered bull from the king'...maybe Floyd will then get it?

Mafatlhaneng De Ruyter is a stupid pale male.

That's absolutely true. How do you ride a dead horse for R700,000.00 per month? He must voluntarily get off the horse before it gets rotten and becomes a stinking mess

De Ruyter should have been fired for the dead horse remarks but South Africa is a banana republic so he gets praised. People clap some more when we experience the worse loadshedding in history. All this because of the pigmentation of his skin.

Vbs

That's S.A for you Sir😀

Floyd, keep quiet, and let everyone think you stupid, instead of opening your mouth and dispelling all doubt.

Surve's newspaper gives Shivambu's point of view too much credit...I hope his mom cuts out the article and frames it on their wall. Sweet

Mr Andrew is a walking 'dead horse' himself ..he is just fumbling with excuses becoming more nd more ridiculous as they are 'thumb-sucked' daily

Shivambu should stop embarrassing himself.

RaceHustlers and their love of using words to trip good people up, while they themselves are nauseatingly evil.

'How on earth' do you think that you are qualified to comment in the first instance

André is just honest with us. He is not a politicians to lie about science. It's fact with him. Even from his sleep, he will tell you straight that horse is dead - klaar. No hope, just burry it, and get a new one. If you don't believe him, expect some nice loadshedding soon.

He should have called Floyd a “Dead Horse” because that is what he really is

It's only a fool who can ride a dead horse.

Clearly this man doesn't know which company he works for, his only there to take instructions and mislead us... HE SHOULD HAVE VACATED THAT OFFICE AS SOON AS YESTERDAY

Maybe because he is honest?

How do u keep a man in parliament who is a fraud

But it's true. What must he say? It's a thriving SOE? I can also be a manager at a place I believe is hopeless, like I once was. I still worked, trying to sort it out but eventually left and came back home to Jo'burg.

To be fair if Eskom was a horse and if broken down so much the humane thing would be to euthanize the poor thing, on Floyd, the ELF back to political school 101, gotta think smarter to try and make yourself relevant, viva 10 % viva

Is part of the VBS loot funding the EFF party in Thembisa this weekend?

What do you say about this Floyd… a cut up dead horse.

Eskom - dead horse, VBS - cash cow

He has given up

FloydShivambu, any guesses who killed that 'horse'

Imagine a company that will CEO who keeps reminding the shareholders that the company is a dead anyway... Meaning he might not try to revive it

😂😂😂😂😂😂😎

If it's a dead horse, it's a dead horse. He, Floyd Shivambu, problaby wants him to lie about it, like they, the politicians, always do. Not even worth a thought.
