FILE PHOTO: Cows graze as steam rises from the cooling towers of Matla Power Station, a coal-fired power plant operated by Eskom in Mpumalanga province, South Africa, May 20,2018FILE PHOTO: Cows graze as steam rises from the cooling towers of Matla Power Station, a coal-fired power plant operated by Eskom in Mpumalanga province, South Africa, May 20,2018Cassim says the funding support measures announced by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana in his Budget should ensure the reduction in the levels...
“Which means the long lead spares that Thomas Conradie in generation needs to procure, the resources that he needs to deliver on, fulfilling the actual outage requirements, plus the flexibility that we now have on procurement within the governance rules, there should be no excuses from an Eskom perspective and a generation perspective, why we should not see load shedding reduced going forward. We must not accept stage six, we need these stages to come down.
Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa is being hauled to court yet again. This time over load shedding, a crisis that has negatively impacted the lives of many South Africans with no clear end in sight. The United Democratic Movement and others have turned to the High Court for relief.
Not even when you send it? We, the consumers (legally or not), do *not* call the shots! Have you no knowledge of how Loadshedding or Eskom_SA worked all these years!?
Those clean shaven ones are the Gupta contacts usually. He is the anti coal vector probably.
We shouldn't accept any loadshedding ,but democracy Rocks!
Talk is cheap winter is on the way stage 6 will be in charge
How so, will CEO ask citizens when implementing stage 6
Just do your job wena Calib and stop talking nonsense or ke Calib wa kaizer Chiefs? 🤔
Another comedian in parlenment 🤦
South Africa should blame Jacob Zuma, Matshela Koko, and the corrupt Guptas for Eskom and Transnet problems.
Talk is cheap. U mean stage 6 or stage 10 that you implimented without informing the public
New CEO already talking crap. Just another ball of wind?
No really
Blah blah blah!!!
...um loadshedding is negotiable
The nation should not accept the ANC
This announcement is not suggesting that stage 6 will not happen 😂😂.. we are not accepting stage 4 for instance but it’s still happening 😂🤷🏾♂️
Ok
He actually means the Nation must join TheNationalShutdown
We don't accept it but it still happens, unfortunately loadshedding is down to ANC incompetence and corruption however the majority of voters still vote ANC and that is where the problem lies they accept loadshedding, unemployment, high crime, porous borders etc.
Who said we're accepting it?3 minutes into the office he's starting to talk garbage.
So what the hell does he expect us to do about it. It is their primary task to generate electricity and they cannot do it!!
He is inciting the people.
lira12_joy Do we ask for it? Because it imposed to us. Uyanya.
As if we have a choice
The nation has accepted corruption ,crime looting,nepotism,hijacking’s,fraud,&human trafficking so why not load shedding
Damn straight, hence the reason I encourage all SA citizens to join the National Shutdown on March 20th.. Enough is enough.. NationalShutdown Julius_S_Malema is a true African Revolutionist EFFGautengProv EFFSouthAfrica
Eskom_SA , what is your acting CEO saying? Do you ask anyone when you apply loadshedding? He is s not making sense so clear it up for us? This nonsensical loadshedding was never acceptable from stage 1, so what is he saying?
Did zuma just go to jail again or what
The Nation must refuse stage 6 wow, the nation must refuse all stages. We don't want stages we want electricity back to normal. We've voted for change but we didn't expect this one. Eish if we knew.
lira12_joy 20th March is the date EFFSouthAfrica
And how do you suggest we don’t accept it!!
Sir, STOP TALKING AND START DOING....!!!
The ANC hasn't given us any choice
Duh!
Why don't you take a solar panel and shove it your backside!!!!!
Oh, we do not accept it, but we expected to do live with it. Sort your house out first before making promises. Just starve the 'fat cat'. He could lose a few million.
Lies!
V
So pray do tell us Calib Cassim, how do we go about not accepting it. I would love to do that. Eskom are still going to shut the electricity off regardless of us not accepting it.
Tell Cassim to act and not try to be a hero. Just act successfully
He will go to Zondo commission loyo he mst b careful
Why thank you for that. The nation should not accept ANY load shedding if everyone just focussed on doing their jobs with pride and diligence and serving South Africans instead of their own interests.
Which stages of loadshedding should we accept? He must get it in his head that Loadshedding is unacceptable !!! We are tired of corrupt people thinking they do us a favour for delivering services with our tax money. Better than nothing mantra don't cut! it
His name reads like a magician. Pull a rabbit out the hat wont he
We don't accept any loadshedding. Be it one, it's a noooooo.
What are our options....duh!!!
'Shouldn't accept any stage of loadshedding.' There, fixed it for you.
Watch your coffee mug Mr Cassim
Ok. We don’t. Is Eskom fixed now?
As long as we don't hold our breath. CYRIL wants ESKOM for himself and his brother in law, Patrice Motsepe, as their own little pet project/ enterprise, and he will use the big guns to get his filthy hands on it.
The nation should not accept load shedding, point!
It's time the nation not to accept any loadshedding
Yoo it's too much, just switch off
In other news: WATER IS WET
We dont even accept stage 1...
😂 What the hell?
This man let the money flow out of Eskom and he know we don’t have a choice so what the fck is he talking about and what is his salary package
Then do something about it.
Won't even accept power failure as an occurrence .🫣
Edakwa! 🤣
If that’s the case then he must explain why they working on schedules 8-16
… well if THE NATION can be bought with a T Shirt, Electricity Vouchers, Food & Meat Parcels on Election Day, then they DESERVE stage 20!
I don't accept Stage 1. Now what?
Fuseg ahh
What is that saying again....' a new broom sweeps well'. Lets give him a few months. Or weeks, or even days.
We just want the light on bro not statements
Easy! Blame apartheid! Tudah
proves that eskom deliberately steals.
either it is crack,coke,meth or mandrax , thats the only time folk is that demikaar.
is he baked on that mandrax they import from India?
We have a choice?
I will have to double check whether there is 'accept or reject loadshedding switch' on the electricity meter. Eskom imposes loadshedding, consumers can't accept or reject.
Wtf must we accept
Oh F$&k. does he mean South Africans must accept stage5 -stage 1? we only accept stage 0. Voetsek
Have we a choice?😈we are at the mercy of ANC thugs!
All you know is this crap you are broadcasting
🤔🤷♀️
Another ANC stooge 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤣🤣🤣
We won't.
Correct. No loadshedding is acceptable
Well then fucking fix it. De Ruyter is gone. Loadshedding should be over if it was all his fault as people seem to think.
Why is he talking like he is not the person responsible to stop load shedding?
We don't accept loadshading, from Stage Zero
I thought Calib was in charge of Eskom?🤔
Wouldn’t trust a word out of his mouth!
Is this a sneaky way of saying, “Please accept Stage 5 and 4”? Nobody thinks Stage 6 is acceptable. How is this an approach?
It's nice to hear someone talking like this for a change, instead of that garbage of yesterday that we mustn't buy cars but buy solar to 'be the solution' instead of trying to fix it.
This is for u ceo of Eskom🖕🖕
....but they should be nice, and accept stage five.
A touch of irony coming from within Eskom? We didn’t accept the stages, they are forced on us daily as the electricity is switched on and off. South African’s did not request load shedding.
Ok we not accepting it , now what?
Stage 5 yes...?
Ok. I don't accept it. Now what?
The people of SA must physically eject him from that office
So I don't have to pay my electricity bill... Paying for a service that's non existent
We should not accept any fucken load shedding. DOOS!
So what is his solution...? Burn down a few power stations and jump straight to stage 8...?
Good sir, we appreciate your confidence, the challenge you have is the Eskom_SA Mafia being run by top ministers in the MYANC, who are part of CyrilRamaphosa inner circle. These individuals manufacture breakdowns for financial gain. This is out of your hands.
My man. That's how a CEO should talk
We should not accept? Kanti do they ask us before they switch it off? Akame kancane ngokukhuluma asebenze
No kidding!!
This is a reckless statement. South africans do not accept any stage of loadshedding except Anc members.
We are really in the dog shame.🤕🤦
Well... its not like we're the ones cutting the power. 🤷🏾♂️
Can he in his acting capacity reject the 18% increase on behalf of us.
Actually, we should not accept any Stages of rolling blackouts.
Err. Um. Ja well no fine. WTAF?
But black Twitter said after ADR is gone blackouts will end!
So tell us what should we do?
He's in fucking charge of the company ekse? Why is he telling us this kak.
What’s the alternative, total blackout😳
Who said we accepted stage1. Is he right?
