@BrianMbm1 is a South African with experience in running large corporations successfully and with a track record at the power utility.
He understands the culture at Eskom and has the credentials to rescue not just the power utility but the country’s economy. #Eskom #Loadshedding
Under De Ruyter Eskom’s losses increased several tens of billions. Corruption continues unabated; power stations that are in & out of commission, n in some cases – as reported @ Tutuka power station – fuel is stolen to tune of R100m per month. That equates to R1.2bn per annum.
Continued deterioration hampering economic recovery, already under strain due to Covid19 lockdowns.
Eskom must replace management with experienced people who understand current requirements of a power utility n importance of future planning & track record of keeping the lights on
1 of the key problems @ Eskom is the apparent trust deficit between its CEO André de Ruyter & many seasoned engineers and senior management. De Ruyter might have corporate experience, but does not appear to comprehend power generation n there's lack of confidence in his abilities

ONE QUESTION:- "who recommended this guy to be Eskom CEO with NO Engineering qualification; NO Energy sector experience?

We know it was Cyril who asked Zuma to appoint @BrianMbm1 Molefe, and we saw an end to #Loadshedding

But WHO put this guy there? {THREAD}
#Stage4 #Eskom
De Ruyter is not a seasoned business person.

He has no glowing record at SASOL; and at Nampak were he committed a cardinal sin as CEO of destroying shareholder value. He took Nampak from a market cap of R29billion and dropped it to R5billion.

How do you hire such INCOMPETENCE?
The market reacted negatively to he’s appointment in January 2020, which further illustrated how this current government led by Cyril has turned its back towards transformation.

You have a gross over representation of WHITE people, particularly males, in the top positions in SA.
