The Economic Freedom Fighters has called for Eskom Group CEO, Andre De Ruyter, to be sacked. The party is accusing him of failing to fix the problems faced by the power utility.

EFF Member of Parliament, Piaba Madokwe says there should be consequences against senior executives at Eskom who are not doing their jobs.

“We need to stabilise coal prices including cancelling Exaro corrupt contract. Number 2, we need to fire the Eskom CEO Andre De Ruyter and COO Jan Oberholzer and appoint a new competent executive with engineering qualifications. competent and must come with operational generation experience. How is it that the power unit four in Medupi fall because there was none who was monitoring it? And Jan Oberholzer was not fired nor suspended.

The National Freedom Party has defended the Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan and Eskom Group CEO Andre De Ruyter, regarding their handling of the energy crisis facing the country. Speaking during a debate in parliament, NFP MP Shaik Emam said it was wrong to blame Gordhan and De Ruyter for the rolling blackouts.

“Minister Gordhan was not there. So, why are we attacking Minister Gordhan? CEO de Ruyter was not there. So, why are we attacking the CEO? Why are we attacking Ms Mavuso? She was never there. She is telling you exactly what has happened. Why are you not going and attack Chief Justice Zondo. Go and attack because he has said it in no uncertain terms that it is the ANC that is the root cause Eskom, to be where it is today and most of the corruption in most of the state-owned entities.

Let Zuma and the previous CEO come and fix it with the Gupta's, VoetsekEFF

The ANC cadets messed up Eskom good and solid. now its expected that a person of colour must fix up the mess caused by ANC. Or right, what was the majority of colour that messed up Eskom? Im not so colour orientated, so help me guys. lets remind the EFF who took Golden Handshakes

'There is absolutely no consequence management that was taken against these incompetent old white male,” says Madokwe'. So peoples competencies are colour based. If only another race made that statement, twitter would have been ablaze by now. Madokwe u are a racist.

Replace Andre with competent leadership

What about the COO, he has 1 job and has failed us since his been in office

He has achieved nothing. DeRuyterMustGo

They expect him to fix in 3 years the problem that was created for 9 or more years 🥴🥴 Is it Andrew who looted eskom? Is it Andrew who badly designed power stations? Is it Andrew who failed to do maintenance of old power stations?

They are mad ANC destroyed Eskom in 9 years period during Zuma term there's no quick fix in this situation.
