“We have associated losses due to the unavailability of coal and labour, which leads us to an additional 3 661MW that is not available. This situation creates substantial risk [to the grid].”
“There is a possibility that we might avert stage 6. The risk is there and therefore we are communicating proactively with the South African public in order for the necessary preparations to be made.” Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan also held a media briefing late on Tuesday afternoon, during which he called the “illegal industrial action” a major contributing factor to stage 6 load shedding.
However, Numsa and the National Union of Mineworkers said there was no agreement and demanded that Gordhan withdraw his statement immediately.In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, the unions said “an offer was tabled which members are engaging on”.Eskom reached a deadlock in talks with unions on June 22 after Numsa claimed that the power utility refused to account for corrupt diesel, coal and independent power producer contracts.
Hands up, who would like his job? corruption asinkingship gangsterstate
Just do something,that is why you are there,if you can’t do the job just go please we are tired of this load shedding a thing
So why did you not do something about it? If you are clueless get out and let somebody else get in and get things right
This guys Prozac account must be eating his medical aid funds seriously by now. 😏
So what have they been fixing for the past three years of loadsheding supposedly for maintenance?
We want Eskom CEO André de Ruyter's head, the second-highest government agency's salary at R7,138,000 million, and to give that back to the people he continues to abuse. He does not deserve a cent of our tax money and is useless as nothing has improved!
De Ruyter should pack up and leave go live his life elsewhere and not because of the state Eskom is in but all the abuse and racial attacks does he need that job NO he is well settled but because he wants to make a difference to all SAfiricans lives he stays
Eskom need engineer as CEO
South Africans march/protest for everything but why have we not marched to media houses about their biases, lies and propaganda. This country is in a cesspool due to Mainstream Media Mercenaries like City Press, Daily Maverick, News24 and TimesLive.
This palooka knows nothing about electricity you can here when he talks
At some point the old mgt blame story is going to hve to end & u & yr team answer 100% for issues of the day. My worry is lack of transparency = worry in cahoots with useless cyril in mass coverup. Please detail where we are,how we got here & how do we get out of it
This guy is not an engineer.
He is a lawyer after all.
Baie mense blameer De Ruyter as hulle weet die probleem is die ANC
In your early days i knew you were flop ...ha ke makatswe k nix!
I have to commend De Ruyter for not throwing in the towel despite the constant abuse he is getting. I would love to see who out there can do a better job with the shit handed to De Ruyter after Eskom had been looted dry and now they have to deal with sabotage too.
Im sure he's speaking from virtual teams, that's more nonsensical decisions come from.. He must go Syabonga
The bastard is ready to privatise Eskom
Same story, day in day out
Sophie_Mokoena 3 years, same story... No solution
It is without a doubt that SA Media is pro De Ruyter, they can't hide their double standard reporting on Eskom loadshedding woes PhalaPhalaFarmGate Glencoe
How sure r we that this clown is telling us the truth.We must assemble a task team of credible experts to evaluate all these plants b4 check if indeed loadsheding is justifiable.I doubt if we Indeed in electricity crises.
Mxm by now atleast 1 power station should be fully functional. I mean its been 3 fucken year telling us the same shit. Truth is thers nothing wrong with the grid the problem is evergreen contracts. And inflated prices of coal.
& his long term plan? Other than daily senseless updates.
🖕🖕🖕
Fuseg

This one has failed South Africa,He has to go, there's absolutely nothing that he has done.just because he is white we must understand this loadshedding rubbish.He must just Voetsek.
