Oh my ol my Peter Bruce sudenly woke up or is he still woke

When hope has gone only despair remains!

KwazaUnathi This, frankly racist, personal attack on me as a staunch MYANC supporter, tweet has been reported.

SouthAfricansP1 Why did the country wasted R1bn on Zondo Commission if the problem is known? MYANC has been in power since 1994 and state owned companies has been under its watch then what’s new? Peter Bruce is not clever.

He’s finding it hard, to realize that he is incompetent.

This realization suddenly becomes public knowledge because of the colour of de Ruyter's skin. Before him, we were told that the trouble at Eskom stemmed from CEOs' mediocrity. South Africa for you!

FACT: You'll stop at nothing to make excuses and protect that failure of a man

Yet ,P Bruce,you campaigned for this very party in 2019

As soon as you put a white man incharge, suddenly white people no longer complain about the useless Ceo, and they claim its not race, 😂😂😂

He useless worse then any incharge of Eskom, giving diesels supply tenders to white connections, when are you gonna report on why is he buying coal by Glencore at a rip off price, yall OK with white corruption!

He must resign if that’s the case 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's nice being white in this country!

Can you for once blame your fellow white homeboy for his failures. This statement has an undertone racism that implies only black people are capable for failure. 'But I am not protecting the ANC'

You're running this nonsense story for the 5th time, Why?😂

ElanaBrown SA media is trash! 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮

Gosh. Old Bruce sounds a pee-ed off with his heroes.

I didn't even know the Eskom ceo's until Andre because all I ever see is his kak face telling me Eskom's problems all day. Imagine I go tell some cashier at Spar about my work problems...that is what he is doing with SA. He must just fuck off already.

The problem is that the ANC has been in power but never in charge. Being in charge is knowing how things work or why they don't/won't work. For that you need a sense of ownership. The ANC, now under CyrilRamaphosa, never understood Eskom or any electricity supply sector.

😂😂😂. So De Ruyter is the best thing to have ever happened kwa Eskom and everything else is disturbing him. Yeses

He must resign then

Andre' de Ruyter and his staff including his Ministers they failed to bring us electricity, they promised to turn eskom around within 18month Now here are their excuses, some previous members looted eskom money they are going to arrest them They complained about covid19 Sabotage

Bruce never talks sense

Eskom was run well when some ANC deployees were in charge. Andre de Ruyter was not an ANC deployee in Nampak.

He can resign like any other employee who feels like they are being prevented from doing their job at a company they work at unless if it’s a family business in which they have a birthright to.

White people stand together, no matter how incompetent the other is, something we fail to master as natives.

It would have been great if he said same thing about Brian and Koko but ke double standards on steroids.

I don’t know why Andre is still CEO, he has fallout with staff for that there is no coming back for him.

Man is Joke he’s been CEO for over 3 years and still no improvement at Eskom, he blames everyone else except himself

Piet o bua masepa

He said loadshedding will be gone in 18 months. Look at us(Blacks) now.

Bollocks, then why take the role, and perks

No amount excuses can be able to protect pure incompetency of Andre De Ruyter

Nhlaktzz white privilege playing at its best

Think he knew that from the start. No doubt he was told what he can (dry up pillaging taps) and can’t (reduce workforce) do before signing.

Correct!

A true story

Stupid

Everything thing the ANC touches turns to 💩

Never seen a more racist excuse for a non performing CEO: ‘he is white, it cant be him, it has to be the black government’. Why does he not just leave.

Was it the same with Brian Molefe and other black CEO,racism is now exposed,no more hidden

Send to Andre and Ramaphosa

Excuses, excuses, excuses🥱🥱. This is ridiculous. This man he done nothing to steer Eskom in the right direction. Criticise him with the same energy you did past CEOs.

Marinus is a delinquent CEO, im pretty sure he cannot even run his own household. What a failure RamaphosaMustGo

De ruyter is part of the grand scheme , pribably will be swallowed in some high position in ramamotseppe holdings

runawayrene These criminals will all soon be arrested for treason and taken to Gitmo 😡

runawayrene Eskom called French team to come to Koeberg but on arrival, they refused because it was not safe to proceed as prep work not done properly. They left us an invoice of R1 billion for wasting their time. Nothing to show for Unit 2 being offline since Jan.

Reducing head count(some of which he is planning to bring back) and the debt(mostly credited to exchange rate movements) is NOT an achievement. ADR failed to deliver on his promises. In 2022, R1bil has been in wasted at Koeberg due to incompetence. No ADR accountability as usual

De Ruyter's record at Nampark speaks for itself. Whites are just defending their own as they always do.

Protecting the failed rooster

Niyanya nanomlungu wenu

He is incompetent and protected by the media, he is no better than phakamani hadebe, he and phakamani are new dawn deployees who brought back loadshedding so that the utility collapses in favour of privatisation. Matshela Koko and Brian Melefe stopped this loadshedding nonsense.

Why does all this apply to Andre? Phakamani Hadabe never had all this spirited defense.
