LameezOmarjee _Business This is why Gwede targeted him. Gwede is anti renewable energy. Most probably because of his personal interests in fossil fuels and Karpower Ships.
LameezOmarjee _Business Really? That's strange🤔 and SA was plunged into stage 6 loadshedding by this 'resourceful' CEO and his team? 😁😄😄
LameezOmarjee _Business good riddance
LameezOmarjee _Business
LameezOmarjee _Business That's exactly what he was mandated to do that's his priority was to collapse Eskom so that private get given a task to generate electricity through renewables which prepare them to take over the utility.
LameezOmarjee _Business This is the end of Eskom. The ANC thieves will be stealing what they can while they still have control. The country is completely stuffed
LameezOmarjee _Business WE must reverse this JET nonsense. Its the reason wue wont have elewctricty for the next coming years. Andre really is a demolition man. Messed up Eskom and the economy at once
LameezOmarjee _Business Abrupt halt. Power ships on their way!
PieterDuToit LameezOmarjee _Business Exactly what Mantashe and RET coal mafia want. Ramaphosa is responsible for, and presiding over, a catastrophe that will reverberate for generations as more and more lives are lost to fossil capital induced planetary destruction.
LameezOmarjee _Business He championed Black outs both literally and figuratively!!the only concerns you have is the risk of interruption to his destruction and salesmanship led by the PhalaPhalaFarmGateCriminal criminal syndicate!!
LameezOmarjee _Business My 2 cents. ANC will stop planned maintenance resulting in no load shedding in December. ANC looks good, De Ruyter looks bad. ANC scores political points - Eskom crashes completely in a year.
LameezOmarjee _Business AndreR5Blillion only championed the destruction of the economy. That's his legacy.
LameezOmarjee _Business The EFF / ANC ret alliance have got their way. To the detriment of all!
LameezOmarjee _Business He championed gross incompetence
LameezOmarjee _Business We are doomed..
LameezOmarjee _Business More coal will ease the pain of loadshedding and save the economy from total collapse. We need it. Let's emulate Europe in digging more coal and building more power stations. This is not a good time to flirt with the (un)just transition.
