The president has come under increasing criticism after the country’s embattled power utility Eskom enforced scheduled power cuts that have thrown the country into disarray and pose a threat to the economy.

John Steenhuisen, leader of the main opposition Democratic Alliance, led a picket outside Eskom headquarters in Johannesburg on Tuesday, saying the “rolling blackouts” threaten to “throw the country’s economy over a precipice.”

For the past six days – and intermittently over the past decade – Eskom has enforced “load-shedding,” whereby power is cut for anything from two to four hours at a time in a bid to relieve pressure on the national grid.

Roads become gridlocked because traffic lights don’t function, businesses have to close, shopping centres are left in the dark and mines have to halt operations.

Steenhuisen called on Ramaphosa to leave the “ruins of a bygone era” in Cairo and attend to his own relic of the past – the power utility.

Indeed, Eskom’s problems were already apparent in 2008 when then-president Thabo Mbeki admitted that the government had failed to make provisions for increased generating capacity.

Since then, ageing power stations have not been maintained, and two new power stations, which have severely overrun their budgets, are still not operational.

Presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko said Ramaphosa would meet with Eskom on Wednesday to be briefed on plans to resolve the crisis.

When will naija good pass South Africa?

Ramaphosa & his Western masters think they are smart , they have been busy collapsing Eskom since the 90s so that it could be privatised & ofcourse they would be the ones to own & control it ( giving them control of many of the economies of the SADC block). They got rid of Zuma via an economic coup , state capture by the " zuptas" they called it,up until today there has been no evidence of this capture & most of the accusers have changed their stories . They called the Zuma years " 9wasted years " & rightfully so because it was hell for the imperialists agenda in South Africa, they were being called into order from all corners . Eskom performed better, load shedding was stopped, the enterprise was making money ,Nersa even said the most maintenance done on eskom was during this time ( ANYONE WHO WANTS PROOF OF THESEZ CLAIMS, CAN ASK, I WILL GLADY POST THEM HERE). Eskom isn't a problem, the people who have hijacked it are. They are now causing crisis after crisis, and the house nigga president has been part of this since the 80's& possible before that. They pushed this stooge infront of everyone else for a reason ,they donated 1billion rands for his campaign( judges ,celebrities ,bitter political stooges ,fake femiscide victims , student leaders you name it. People were bribed & sponsored ).

Some of the culprits & i will be waiting for their representatives

There is nothing good about a man who causes a crisis ,& then goes somewhere for a day to charge his phone ,& comes back wearing a cape ( armed with possible solutions to the problems he engineered ) .

You are sound bro

My dear it seems you know nothing about engineering, when it comes to ESKOM its all about no maintenance of 40year old plants and Unions who wants highter wages without any increase in productivity + zero accountability by the former and current Board. Another thing you forgot here is Brian Molefi who told us about maintenance yet the very money for it was diverted to give pay increases and 6 months after Brian was apointed for the second time he got a R30m pension, that was eventually deemed fraudulent by the Concourt.

Anyway you sound like a CIC deployee shouldn't you be on your way to your fake policy conference.

I was waiting for someone to say this

But why do some people lie unprovoked though? . Why are you deliberately mixing things up; the pension fund saga ,& the alleged lack of maintenance of the 35year old plant ( during Molefe's leadership )?.

Above is a short clip from the " Gupta Tv" . I don't like using any media houses as reference because they are more propagandists than they are a credible source of information .But I took this clip because it's directly from parliament.

This R30mil pension saga reminds of the propaganda we were fed about Zuma building a R200mil house in Nkandla with taxpayer's money , only to find out that it was about R7.8 mill that was wrongly allocated to the project by the department of labour ( Nxesi, a Thuma Minion). Whatever amount that was overpaid to him by the Eskom fund, he must pay back, but we all know it's not R30mil . By the way, the judges in this case did they not appear on the CR17 bank statements. I respect the law,but I can never take any judgement from prepaid judges seriously. Anyways, will check it out myself.

Above is the whole inquiry, that also touches on the Gupta contracts, nuclear deal & the evergreen contracts of WMC. The real reason Molefe is the " devil" .

LOL, so I cannot talk about Eskom because I'm no Engineer? . Basically 99.9999 % of SA should shut up about this issue because they know nothing about engineering? .

Anyways, let's tackle the lie about maintenance;


"We did not have excuses, Brian came in & he never complained about the lack of maintenance, he never blamed the past leadership,”. 

We introduced a maintenance budget and successfully dealt with years of “legacy” of a maintenance bottleneck."

The above statement is by Matshela Koko, he is a chemical engineer & was the one in charge of maintenance at Eskom during the "Zupta " error.

"@Eskom_SA is operationally dysfunctional.

It boggles my mind that an organisation that performed at peak in July 2017 & accumulated access capacity of 5000MW collapses over night.

@CyrilRamaphosa & #PravinGordhan misdiagnosed Eskom problems.

They have collapsed it. Its over https:///V14Llbgdr6"

Now dear ,afford me the opportunity to point you to my earlier post , I posted pictures of people who were part of forming the state capture lie, please go back and see if Juju is not there .

I hope you have been following the state capture commission ( kangaroo court ). If you were you would know that the whole thing has degraded into a gossip session & and a ccma hearing lol. Almost 2 years now , and we are Yet to hear how the state was captured . Infact the accused people have applied to be invited to account, and dololo response from Zondo . It looks more like we are trying to find out if the state was captured than actually proving the " culprits " guilty .

LOL, here is the funny part;some of those who have accused the former leadership of Eskom of being corrupt are now asking for them to come back ,how is this possible? attachment 1&2 from the desk- banging, CIC crew . They issued this statement at night , no making noise in parliament, no painting the streets red calling for ubaba ka Andile to fall . But I expected this from Malema he is a flip-flopper of note ,attachment 3

Before I touch on the real reasons why eskom is not making money now, I will await your response. Thank you dear.


Where is the Uk envoy, Deklerk, Lord Peter Hain & the rest? . I thought they said when Ramaphosa is the president the economy will grow . More jobs will be created,but all we have seen is more millionaires being made & more people losing their jobs in the last two years . I thought they said he would bring investors that would create jobs, but all we see is capitalists who want to buy our SOE's for R2 , 27 IPP's and the president refuses to give us the names of the owners . I thought Ramaposer was transparent & competent, why hide such important issue from us . Where are all the " opposition " parties and their protests ? Where are the NGO's like SAVE-SA? . Shouldn't all these people be closing down the country with protests? . Where are the unions? .
