The new electricity minister will focus on improving Eskom's power stations, according to Mantashe will continue to procure new generation capacity.
"One must understand a project management approach means clear time frames and clear milestones and a clear critical path they should not deviate from. This is communicating a sense of urgency and desire to resolve this problem because we don't have time to wait 24 months to resolve it," Mantashe said.
"My submission is that this focused minister who is appointed to focus on electricity must focus on those [six] power stations and give us energy and end load shedding."Mantashe has long argued that Eskom's ailing plants can be put back into full service through more maintenance and that they are"standing idle".
_Business Very unnecessary...should've been made it's own branch within DMRE
_Business So one minister cpuldnt do his job, so we have to pay another one to assist the useless one eish fokkofanc poes
_Business So basically the fuck up will intensify!
_Business CR hands is so badly tied with Gwede, & CR is frustrated. This might just be what we need a minister of electricity & CR is planning to tie Gwede's hands, hoping he throws in the towel... This is CR showing he has balls🤣🤣🤣 will cost us for sure
_Business And Jamnandas?
_Business From Karpower!!! That has always been his MO.
_Business Thought that was your job.
_Business Is there a time line for his miracles?
_Business 2 useless Ministers. 2 wasted salaries & perks at a cost to the tax payer. Screw the ANC. These people could not govern toddlers in a room, nevermind a Country of 65million people.
_Business I thought Gwede told us he doesn't procure power, he just signs things. 🤷♂️
_Business Rumor and Hearsay
_Business Looters assemble!!
_Business So no change then, the Eskom CEO is now called the minister of electricity. SA has an cANCer problem. ANC

_Business
_Business In the early 90s south Africa survived with 2stations then our black government gain power and build another two stations but still we are suffering. Why our government fails this much .now the are wasting 1b on Spurs for what .I don't know how Dom we are..
_Business Procure new generation capacity from KarpowershipSA ? 🤔🤔
_Business Hmmm.. Gwede has done such a fantastic job so far of procuring electricity hey? NOT!!😡 Just a another Useless political fat cat
_Business KAPOW💥The FAT 🐅is a f’ng H2O thief & the 🐿️ just opened his cage and let him loseagain on us. SA IS FUCKED ‼️
_Business Lol really are you both intelligent enough to carry out these very intelligent jobs - somehow I doubt it 🤔
_Business And that minister is an engineer or a cadre.
_Business Throwing people at a problem is not fixing it. Creating positions for people who have proved they are useless is even more pathetic.
_Business Gwede needs to continue with procurement as bribes have already been paid and spent
_Business It’s a pity that the nation doesn’t believe the Government nor the Energy Executives anymore, actually it’s called distrust! The solutions presented are more vague and rhetorical around activity and not productivity.
This is such a bad reflection on Gweda but let’s see if this will be the solution to our electricity issue.
_Business I don’t here of any upgrades of Eskom yet. Only talk.
_Business If that’s his job, why hasn’t it been happening?

_Business Mr president WEF are you We need a minister of floods 😱
_Business Overkill like hunting a mosquito with a shotgun
_Business Mantashe laying down the law!
_Business That sounds like the job of Eskom Head of Generation and respective Power Station Managers
_Business How many electricians do we require to replace a light balb?
_Business Sooooo basically CyrilRamaphosa and GwedeMantashe1 propose that we continue as business as usual. The only difference is another useless cadre, who can't do anything, without approval from GwedeMantashe1 ... So no change.
_Business You mean doing the Karpowership contracts.
_Business In South Africa our land🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I guess.
_Business My f*k Marileze!!! MYANC and CyrilRamaphosa losing the plot even further. GwedeMantashe1 has not added a single MW to the grid since this whole f*ck up called load shedding started!!! Do you guys ever think things through? But hey, it's everyone else's fault nê?!?!?!
_Business Feels like we are in permanent spin cycle. Solutions are going from bad to worse.
_Business Mantas just got put on many many Christmas lists. The above is what the problem has been. Procurement corruption.
_Business Karpowerships Not a ship A gravy train
_Business So who is it? Is the ditherer in chief aka Mr 'Biding his time' still rearranging the deckchairs. Make a phukken decision already peopehol.
_Business ANC's 2024 election capaign urgently needs a funder! Karpowerships loading!
_Business What will the CEO do then, confused again
_Business 1)No positive, initiative driven, competent operating and maintenance personnel = no power. 2)Corrupt and disfunctional management and incompetent middle management = no power GUARANTEED
_Business More like a real Project Manager (Minister of Electricity).....
_Business They just don’t get it do they!!! VoetsekANC
_Business The new Eskom CEO, is a minister 😂!! Comrades are a joke
_Business Now he speaks the handlers language, that is gwede for you.
_Business If you couldn't resolve the problem between yourselves,how is one minister going to achieve this ANCjokers Superminister
_Business Why has Mantashe not been fired?! He has failed thus far to get new generation capacity, what on earth makes you think he will do so now?! He has done nothing in regards to solving electricity crisis & will just continue to do nothing!
_Business In short, it's the Minister of Eskom...
_Business So a waste of space deployee will be in charge again....who would've thought the changes are a farce?
_Business So we won't have a CEO Eskom_SA ? This minister's job sounds like what a CEO would be doing
_Business Should the new minister be chosen from the anc cadre ranks, he will be as useless as all the other
_Business So Kar powerships it is. Well hopefully who ever gets to deal with all the crap in 2024 can get us out of that contract and do business with the South African engineers who invented the pebble bed reactor instead.
_Business 😩 'Can they just stop effing around and actually do something?' 'Nope. They don't care.' MYANC GovernmentZA
_Business Why do we need a new minister when its your job to do it
_Business 😂
_Business And what will Jamnandas do?
_Business 🤣
_Business Gwede produce more capacity... 🤣🤣🤣 where his stomach😒

_Business 1 person used to be able to CAPABLY handle all that and more... now it takes ATLEAST 2x myanc clowns to do the same thing, WORSE, and over a much wider period of time... all useless, THE WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM... FOETSEKANC
_Business This will not work, both will be useless at restoring capacity or looking after the power stations. 🙈🙈
_Business What could possibly go wrong? They trying to blow smoke up your back side AGAIN. Maybe the flat footed ANC voters will believe this garbage. NO ONE ELSE will!
_Business So don't expect anything different to when it was the two pensioners Gwede and Pravin. Enter player three. South Africa you are on your own.
_Business Isn't that the job of the CEO?
_Business So we still have to put up with your ineptitude!! WTF Mantashemustgo
_Business Mara Kwete Mantashe is useless, no shame to announce his substitute live🤞🏼🤧
_Business Gwedes sole job is to procure powerships. Jeez. This is so transparent it's ridiculous.
_Business Yip Mantashe was waiting for this, his karpower ship will dock soon.
_Business That's the function of the CEO, with the support of the board.....🚮🚮🚮
_Business Lol anc patronage. One person can easily do both
_Business More money wasted, ke marete fela
_Business 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. and Governmentsalaryshedding as well, MORE LIES AND BS FROM ESKOM & GOVERNMENT. killing the people killing the nation
_Business Didn’t Mantashe said just last month the he does not build power stations?
_Business Karpower ships loading. Gwede has his eye on the prize. The minister of Electricity is only the minister of Electricity we can squeeze out of Eskom. Gwede is the minister of Electricity we are buying.
_Business The new Electricity Minister needs to get things improved lightning fast or we gonna employ a boss for him too.And if Cyril dont pull his socks ,we will appoint an Executive President .Any more appointments...
_Business Not sure how this will help unless the minister is a qualified engineer...otherwise its just an extra salary expense from government 🙄🙄
_Business And Public Enterprise?

_Business Waste of money.....again.
