Corruption is not a key issue affecting the performance of some of Eskom's power plants, the minister of electricity has said.
"Here is the first time I get to a station, where they say: 'We think there is corruption here, especially in procurement - the speed with which you get spares parts, the price of these parts - you can see that there is collusion and there is something that requires attention'," Ramokgopa said. Turning around Tutuka's performance is critical for the whole generation system as it would help Eskom to eliminate three stages of load shedding should the plant be able to bring some 3 000MW back into operation, Ramokgopa said.
The bulk of Tutuka's coal is supplied by Seriti Resource's Denmark mine, which is adjacent to the power station. There has also been clear underinvestment in the power station, he said, noting that this has been aggravated by a possibly misplaced impression that the plant faces imminent closure and so critical equipment has not been replaced.Speaking to workers, the minister said he would plead a case for extending the plant's life if Tutuka's EAF could be shown to improve.A deep dive into the big business story of the week, as well as expert analysis of markets and trends.
_Business CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA is it 100% OK with you that not a single tweet is positive about your ministers' competence? This is a disgrace. And it seems that nobody gives a rat's ass ... Is there a plan?
_Business What a lying Cadre! ANC never let's up does it!

_Business Liar
_Business ANC have refined the art of talking shit.
_Business Just exactly... How stupid do you think we are?
_Business So you see a men who is saying we will continue eating me and my friends
_Business please have the balls to counter these statements. That is your job isn't it? To bring out the truth? the minister of load shedding...corruption is operational and financial challenge - if you can't figure that out! May be that is why you were made the minister.
_Business And this, dear Reader, is a perfect illustration how a properly trained cadre sings for his supper.
_Business Financial challenges because of corruption 🤬🤬
_Business But we tried to kill de Ruyter and and blamed him for everything that was wrong. PravinGordhanZA you okes still chowing lekker?

_Business Of course….. there is no corruption….. yeah right
_Business No surprises there, another affirmative action misfit proudly brought to you by the ANC.
_Business IT IS THE ONLY ISSUE FFS 🤦🏽♂️
_Business 😂
_Business I'll wait for minister Sputla to table his findings and his plan of action on how to tackle the challenges - he's still completing his fact-finding trip. I'll give him a chance and not second guess him. De Ryter got his fair chance.
_Business If you are from ANC, even if you have evidence of such, you don't point it out. Actually to you corruption doesn't exist because it's in your blood, it's what put food on the table for you.
_Business A student from the University of Corruption says. He's well taught how to articulate words and constructively come with new ways of corruption and shielding the Professors of Corruption thee ANC
_Business The minister is not registered with the council and practicing outside of his discipline. Not to mention the massive mess he made in Tshwane with his prepaid contracts. peucapitalpartners tumssa EYSA
_Business Oh kak man. How could it run perfectly years ago?
_Business Beating a dead horse....
_Business Just the other day he said there’s no corruption
_Business True cadre
_Business Bulllshit !!
_Business 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😇 what can i say.
_Business circling the wagons!
_Business Says the civil engineer that was put there by you know who to show they are not corrupt. He concluded this way too quickly, still waiting for an electrical engineer.
_Business I think Corruption and All other Ryther issues should be dealt with by Pravin Gordan,,,, He's daily objective was to look into the Operational and Financials issues of the day.. Not Corruption.. Go Ask Pravin
_Business Only the ANC will agree on this as they are the cause of all corruption at Eskom.
_Business He has joined the corruption cartel
_Business This man is a genius lol, God help us
_Business I don't know who to believe but time will tell
_Business Yes the R2T is just sitting at the beach.
_Business What to believe now? About eskom issue
_Business Spinning so fast he can be a generator 🤣
_Business This man is off his trolley.
_Business Some of things you get confused. It's coming from somebody mouth .But a humans got mistakes nobody's perfect

_Business Don't lie on the public platform.
_Business Ok,so if there is no money 2 replace the broken parts,& no check on quality parts,& no ckeck on legit suppliers,& no check on y stuff break/disappear,then what do u call it?NAUGHTY BOYS & GIRLS THATS BREAKING TOYS THATS NOT THEIRS 2 BREAK OR TAKING STUFF THATS NOT THEIRS 2 TAKE!
_Business CR said Eskom would need additional R33 billion to complete Medupi an Kusile.What is particularly painful is that most of the money was wasted.The two power stations,touted as the solution to SA’s load-shedding woes,did not help Eskom much.Eskom’s electricity production decreased
_Business EFF,SAFTU..common contention is aimed squarely load shedding,which they want fixed.Great. So do we all .This load-shedding is man made by incompetent ANC govt-crime syndicate. By way of poor planning,strikes,corruption,mismanagement they crippled projects like Kusile,Medupi..et
_Business ANC crime cartels that have brought Eskom and South Africa to their knees . Vote out ANC, vote out enemy of the people
_Business Every ANC NEC member,is deeply complicit in SA’s decline,either because they were directly involved in thievery,they helped enforce policies that robbed citizens of agency and concentrated power in the hands of the incapable state,or enabled looting by shielding criminal cadres..
_Business Financial issues arising from corruption.
_Business I don't know who to believe but what i know is no one will tell the truth about corruption virus especially if you need to work.
_Business Old news. We all know it is corruption.
_Business Kgosientsho_R 🤔 dakiwe baba icorruption e ngata ko Eskom_SA
_Business And they have just arrested 3 eskom employees in the buying dept for fraud of 14mil so really no corruption
_Business Glad we finally cleared that up and can also now confirm that the Zondo commission was a waste of time and money.
_Business Really under which rock do you live
_Business What causes this operational and financial challenges?
_Business Record, *Al* *Jazeera* *Invesigations* vanaand 10 uur....vir volgende 4 dae in 4 programne opgedeel, word die wêreld kartel van steenkool bedrog ook in S.A. blootgestel...verskillende tye
_Business A forensic auditor would examine the causes of the operational and financial 'challenges', would examine the expected benchmarks and projections, would identify the impediments and the nature of said impediments, as well as audit and fraud reports and conclude ... ?
_Business Well not the sharpest one… then again it is MYANC feeding trough… massive debt moved to taxpayers so the scum can eat more! Liberation is wonderful… for some
_Business Corruption is at the heart of eskom. Everything comes back to corruption. If you deploy people for political reasons it's corruption. Same with employing incompetent unqualified persons. Delivering & receiving inferior quality coal mixed with rocks is corruption.
_Business We have investigated our selves, and we have determined that we have done nothing wrong.
_Business The Comrade had already been trained
_Business Eskom is a cash cow for the corrupt in the ruling party. Why would they want to close that tap?
_Business Financial challenges linked to not having enough money, linked to shortage of cashflow, linked to thieving politicians and cronies, linked to CORRUPTION!
_Business ANC cadres are blind to corruption...
_Business Somebody is talking heaps of k💩k and Sputla witk his R4 million designer watch is eating it up for breakfast.
_Business He s in his position 5 min and he already came to this conclusion? Is someone squeezing him?
_Business Corruption is the cause of these operational and finance symptoms. Jesus help us.
_Business Okay Pinocchio
_Business And these challenges do not exist from corruption? Asking for a friend🤔
_Business The Electr Minister (for 3 weeks) is really telling us it will take another 10yrs and 300 more ANC connected BEE millionaires later to fix ESCOM.He doesn't hav a clue what caused all the technical and financial chaos .But knows it isn't Corruption😂😂 Zondo . Mampara of the week
_Business I like the mandate he is sent with hahaha
_Business Cover up loading.. deposits and back hands already paid for silence...
_Business Lol do Eskom have money to fix the problem? Where is the money invested? So we fix the problem 🤷🏽♂️ He protects what cannot be protected 🤞🏼😂🤣😂🤷🏽♂️
_Business Because black people dont pay for their electricity.
_Business As if Andre DE Ruiter didn't pick up on the problems at ESCOM in 3 years! What is the BASIC causes of the ministers conclusion - Corruption and Incompetence.He doesn't know/see the Basic causes because he wants to reinvent public perception about grotesque ANC looting at ESCOM.
_Business He’s lying
_Business u sure about THAT !!!!
_Business He's 'eating' already
_Business Now his true colours are showing ... His been placed there to distract us from the truth of all the. Corruption and the cartels running Eskom
_Business So the Zondo report means nothing?
_Business Guys please man stop headlining rubbish.....please
_Business Due to corruption!!🤣🤣🤣
_Business There is nothing left to steal.
_Business Corruption is and remains the key issue.
_Business Try spin it any way you like, we were schooled by de Ruyter. And we already know the ruling party is a crime syndicate.
_Business Here we go another anc member who she nothing wrong with being corrupt who also probably believes its time 2 eat
_Business So Andre de Ruyter lied to us😂 Inganekwane😂
_Business Any corruption will implicate Anc Top Brass. He is reading from a script
_Business Wow - He figured this out in less than a month? He must be very ............still looking for the correct word. 😕
_Business Trying to cover up...it's not working,SA knows the truth
_Business Mr. Minister: The operational and financial 'challenges' are caused by corruption (1 + 1 = 2).
_Business This minister is protecting ANC while the whole country knows their the problem
_Business The financial challenges are because of corruption in Eskom. Trying some gaslighting here ,are you now?
_Business As I said, he is the minister of sweeping the evidence under the carpet.
_Business LIES
_Business He must look at those Financial challenges where they emminate from, which leads to operational challenges, he will find corruption right there, the minister is looking for corruption in wrong places, corruption is the genesis of Eskom problems
_Business He was selected by ANC to deliberately divert and water down De Ruiter's allegations of corruption! Watch this space.
_Business OK, so its pretty obvious the new energy minister also 'has to eat' a little!
_Business Are the financial issues not related to the corruption? Or is it simply because bills are not paid or payments collected for services rendered? If this is the case, who didn’t do their job. Collection of payment for services rendered is a basic business operation.
_Business The cat is long out the bag. There is no back tracking now ANC. We know corruption is rife. We have seen the cartels who are profiting from ESKOM. We also know why CyrilRamaphosa has placed a 'minister of electricity' there. Its a cover up and no wool can be pulled over our eyes
_Business Yet a number of Eskom employees have been charged with theft, fraud, cooking the books etc...a recent case involves 15 million rands...and these r the people they've caught...but there's no corruption ?...🤣
_Business Wow
_Business
_Business So, either this guy has been in some sort of coma the past few years, or he is has got no access to modern technology. Its easy to blame financials but what is the root of the financial problems (corruption just maybe?)
_Business Spin Sputla
_Business The looting continues
_Business Well all we need is an in depth enquiry into all contracts of Eskom and business dealing with Eskom because if it was not a key issue why do we have trail of SIU freezing assets for irregular contracts? Who are you trying to distract from the truth?
_Business We’ll if this is the case we can presume that Eskom will be up and running properly very soon without load shedding
_Business He was visited few power stations not all stations and he already concluded that there's no corruption.
_Business Oh really?
_Business I think the minister must rather just stick to dancing.
_Business Lies
_Business What a D oos
_Business And yet ANOTHER spin-doctor. What an utter load of crap !!!!! Now the coal supply contract must go to someone else ?!?!? More corruption on the cards. Typical ANC bullshit, deflecting the blame to another party. Incompetent, corrupt swine !!!!
_Business Fraud & bribery = corruption
_Business The sad part is that these thieves in government think we are stupid
_Business CapeIndependence is coming
_Business And their supporters are eating this shit up. Here comes another 5 years of commie rule an corruption.
_Business Corruptions by the untouchables! Viva the eating trough. Go look elsewhere for problems.
_Business Up is down. Left is right. 😉😉
_Business What a delusionist
_Business Please could we just have an element of honesty!! You will lose trust immediately if you play the “spin doctor” - South Africans are not stupid!
_Business Oh absolutely, my 'eyes' is also red simply because they have been f u c k e d so much that he can no longer see clearly
_Business AfricanNarcissistsClub
_Business Says the man with the 4 million rand watch
_Business Is he now the CEO of Eskom? Do we still need a CEO for Eskom? He seems to be carrying out executive duties for Eskom, and of course he understands that when comrades eat it is not called corruption. That’s why he put there.
_Business It's always one of two things or both with the ANC leadership. South Africa needs to please vote for better leaders.
_Business Ramokgopa obviously trying to distance the ANC from the corruption by the ANC and its cadres, by denying it.
_Business Proving once again that empty tins always makes the most noise, corruption are the core of all South Africa and Eskoms problems.
_Business That useless Minister is serving mandate to confuse us.He is going to clear all ANC members who did corruption through eskom that is his mandate not loadshedding.🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮
_Business He was told, no investigation was conducted
_Business MYANC protecting their comrades again VoetsekANC
_Business That is a technical way of questioning Andre De Ruyter allegations
_Business State capture in Brazil . Apparently the ANC politicians have used this as a training video .
_Business Corruption has never been a key issue for the ANC, they love it.
_Business Kusile and Madupi 3 x over budget....how did this happen Electricity Minister? You want to tell us that there has been no corruption? Don't make us laugh, the South African public is not stupid!
_Business They have paid the minister now to lie
_Business The truth is ALWAYS in the Exit interviews in this case De Ruyter truth takes preference
_Business 😂😂😂😂 the R1 billion Zondo report says different.
_Business Yeah right
_Business I would like to place a complain about rea vaya buses 🥲could please investigate what's going on there because wow eyy
_Business Happy Children's day
_Business Of course he will say that…
_Business A multitude of operational and financial challenges are as a result of systemic corruption. A chicken-or-egg debate is only of academic value.
_Business We could have saved R2 billion on the Zondo commission if only Sputla Ramokgopa told us this before!
_Business Getting paid millions yet he knows nothing about Eskom, he's corrupt.
_Business Protect the comrades at all cost, even if it causes a total meltdown of the power grid
_Business And these 'multitude of operational and financial challenges' were created by?
_Business 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
_Business Antiwhitism is the root cause. White erasing White men also erases the Western norms and standards they bring to the work environment.
_Business And exactly where do the so called financial issues stem from if not corruption How does he not see that the theft of billions that was intended for maintenance etc through corruption lead to the energy crisis? Another fool in a top seat he has no place being in.
_Business South africans don't have anymore money to bailout eskom
