_Business LameezOmarjee The power utility must use coal forever, this guy had an agenda
_Business LameezOmarjee OK, why is this guy annoying us everyday? Isn't he gone? Why is media irritating us with his fake expertise? 🙄🙄🙄
_Business LameezOmarjee He failed to do what he was hired for, to collapse Eskom in order to sign IPPs. Not under our watch. He must just vokof maan 😞
_Business LameezOmarjee I thought this guy was gone for good. This means, there is more to meets the eye here. Could this be a colour thing? I just can't be sure 😊😊
_Business LameezOmarjee The outgoing Eskom GCE is undeniably anti-coal, very hostile to the energy mix policy of government. No amount of whitewashing will change that. He has, on many occasions expressed his sentiments and nailed his colours to the mast. Makandululwe qha!
_Business LameezOmarjee ESKOM will continue to use coal till we run out of it! More coal and nuclear power plants should be built!
_Business LameezOmarjee People have no control so they assume we all know that coal will stay for now as it is a reliable source of material for steam generations..
_Business LameezOmarjee eskomsalaryshedding over 40 000 employees and nobody can fix the problem, let's start salary shedding at Eskom and see how quickly they fix this problem. ESKOMSALARYSHEDDING maybe Governmentsalaryshedding as well. MORE LIES AND BS FROM ESKOM & GOVERNMENT. Retweet please
_Business LameezOmarjee ESKOM isn’t but He De Ruyter is anti-coal
_Business LameezOmarjee As an outgoing CEO, DE Ruiter must not be allowed to take long term decisions that will bind Eskom for the next 50 years.
