Eskom CEO André de Ruyter has slammed critics of the utility's move towards renewables, away from coal, saying they want to keep SA stuck in the 'Stone Age'. | News24_Business

De Ruyter pointed out that the arrests were made by private security companies employed by Eskom, not by SAPS.

"But there is a clear challenge in the province of Mpumalanga with organised crime. To pretend that it’s a few isolated incidents is not substantiated by the facts. It all links together in quite sophisticated networks that steal billions of rands from Eskom every year."Eskom recently secured a €10 million grant from German development bank KfW to set up a renewable energy training facility at Grootvlei coal power station in Mpumalanga.

De Ruyter said these lenders were concerned about protecting this money from corruption in South Africa."When this amount of money enters an economy, of course, especially with the reputation of an entity like Eskom for malfeasance and corruption – there are major concerns," he said. "These are very important to investors. If we can give that stability and assurance, then they will come."

He is so right. These robbers have no shame in bringing the country to this low level for self enrichment? Karma is a bitch!

They will regard that utterance as a challenge.

What a wow 🤡😂😂

This man is spitting facts.

And...?

De Ruyter se poes

This one has reached sell by date

Wanna bet they will then siphon off the electricity and sell it privately!

ANC will always find a way... They are Very resourceful that way... 🤨

Yes. It cant be stolen. But the current corupt ANC regime and their little Jack Russel called Eskom wants to steal the money out of your pocket once you install your own solar system for electricity.

Correction. I think the ANC has stolen the rights of people to use the sun and wind freely for energy. Is there not a kick back to a cardre with renewable energy ?

ANC- 'Hold my beer'

Does he know how many solar panels get stolen in the WC and smuggled back to Zim?

Mxm I was in darkness for seven hours yesterday from 4pm to 11pm. Don't tell me about the sun and the wind, I'm not in the fucking mood.

Translate to English

I think its more likely that De Ruyter is the one suffering from 'diabetes type K'

True that!!! ... but now that it has been raised I am sure that some 'creative' minds will be 100% occupied!

But the money to find clean energy can.

Aha. Another revealing WEF acolyte woke statement. Prat

The corrupt will find a way to benefit from it. And the people will keep on suffering for it. Don't be fooled. Because until we realise it is not the past that is oppressing us but the present, until then we will never be free.

Very true... but they will work out something to steal that as well

Wow this guy is a genius!

The MYANC challenge accepted

Demonic reasoning.

Oh yes it can, pay twice as much for equipment and installation, allow a bunch of ghost employees. Done.

This made my day!

👏👏👏👏

It can’t be economically and efficiently stored either in current battery technology. And there’s this other little problem called: night.

What about the solar panels, batteries, and cabling?

Earning millions for doing absolutely nothing. Being white is celebrated in South Africa 🤔

He,panic South African 👆

But they can be used to steal billions out of Eskom through IPP's.

😂😂😂

I'm not so sure. The MYANC regime and its gangster agents are capable to steal ANYTHING!! AncLegacy AncEntitlement

Yet they want people to pay for it if they use solar power

But it can be used to steal

Him too is a full ANC member. He knows the crooks

Remember those KZN guys stole the sun panels last year. When it comes to stealing, the KZN crowd make the impossible possible.

Take it easy now on smoking coal fumes DeRuyter

Believe you me nothing deters a South African thief.They will even fly to the sun if it means they can feast on what is not rightfully theirs.

Mampara of the decade

Spoken like a real lawngineer

Wow this wisdom is so amazing I feel so much better. How you doing with maintenance? Loving your salary while killing the economy?

Is ds guy normal or he replaced his 🧠 with a sip of milk. Technical astute individuals are needed to run Eskom not ds mlungu

good point

You will be surprised! Black people steel anything!!!! Zuma set the example!

Don’t count on it…

But the Diesel and the Rock painted coals can.

You will be surprised....... .

Yebuya 🎱

Yoh....🤣🤣🤣🤣

He clearly hasn't thought it through. The cadres can steal ANYTHING

So true

They will find a way to steal it

I am not so sure about that Mr de Ruyter

Domkop..

Then it should be free or less for all.

SA just needs to subsidize private solar installations, I have so many local people eager to generate their own power... barrier of entry is still out of reach for most. Local energy generation = lower transmissions costs and maintenance... maybe an engineer should be CEO.

You would be suprised!

ANC :’Hold my beer’!!!

Does he actually know the locals?

This guy is an embarrassment

Huh? They can steal anything.

Says a land thief

😂😂😂😂😂And then he call himself a ceo. No wonder eskom is a dissater

Mxm bloody sthuphethu

Not yet

I like his sense of humor, but he's white, he can do anything he wants, him & Pravin can even get private securiy to shoot & ask questions later to save that entity if he really wanted to, but he doesn't, cos it works for IPP's introduction & privatization.

🤣🤣🤣😪😪😪puuuuuuh

He might be thinking of stealing the sun.

He is right !! And thank God for that otherwise we would live in the dark....

But it can be manipulated.

That be true

Watch them steal the windmill or the tenders to install solar panels

So Sputh Africa has its own sun compared to the rest of the world? And pur own wind? And this man is meant to be educated

He's 100% correct.

It can be stolen by the very same man that said it. He is already planning rediculously high levied on using it. What a clown🤡

They can steal the hair off your head

Well said!

How right you are

If the Anc could they would!!

How much did the Germans give him?

Even as I read this the ANC & EFF are pondering and scheming how they can steal both. They probably think it was a challenge from De Ruyter.

Tell him we said he must fuck off we want coal energy

Good luck with the costs. A solar kit for the home is over 100k. That gel batteries, inverters and solar panels needs lots of maintenance and replacing every two years if you lucky. Now imagine industrial solar power.

Pathetic

Engineer's logic 😢😥

More strength to his arm, I say.

Here is a solution to our energy problems. Politicians generate a lot of hot air they all their orifices! How can we harness this? Or r they completely useless ****holes...

KhoiSan_7 They will steal or loot it. It’s South Africa.

Do not underestimate the ANCancer... They can steal ANYTHING!!

But he is an !diot 🤔 I mean he's mo®on

A CEO said that A CEO? No man! What a mindless thing to say - I guess he's forgotten all about the cables, the solar panels, the recyclables, the hydraulic fluid, the lithium batteries, etc etc that come with the renewable sources! Let's see how long those last 🤨

Ah but it can be taxed and that WILL be embezzled.

Someone must look into this man's educational credentials. He just doesn't make sense.

Coal has never been a problem. Infrastructure is. How will Eskom ensure that green energy infrastructure is protected? No Clue. Leave coal plants alone

Because ulele

This comment alone says a lot...

Leader of an entity endorsing dismantling of the same entity he is leading?

Duh...

Am not lol but this is hilarious 😂

🤣🤣🤣 good one

Why do people hate coal so much? Coz its cheap,local and available and economically empowers its citizens!!lUnlike solar panels,(rare earth materials)lithium batterys,wind turbines,you import them thus economically empowering China n others,jobs/capital outflows...

He is bluffing who can steal the sun or wind globally?

He told no lies

Has he met the anc? That shit will be stolen in minutes…

actually it's the kind of theft conducted by jewelry thieves

Then why is Eskom not using the sun and wind to generate power? I suppose it is easier to play the load shedding game with the people of South Africa.

We can’t watch soccer world because of this thing, mxxxxxm!

Wow! At last De Ruyter is going to do something right!

Slevu sakhe esinezambane

White people stole the land, a natural resource. What will stop them to steal the sun and the wind?

Don’t worry, the incorrigible cadres will find a way to steal it too

They will find a way to steal even that

True indeed

But the government could impose a tax on it as a natural resource = it could be stolen indeed!

Pretty sure coal will still get stolen even if SA moves to renewable energy. But maybe thats why the superpowers are ‘investing’ in SA’s transition, so they can buy coal at an even cheaper rate.

Thats not what he should be worried about. Both those things must be converted somehow.

Anything is possible here in South Africa especially when it comes to crime criminals are so talented and sophisticated they are 5 step ahead

And all the dunder heads were so impressed and so on and so forth🤡🤡

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This guy silly.

The incompetent De Ruyter is desperate to prove otherwise. If Pravin cant put together a decent budget to buy diesel what makes de Ruyter think that only renewables can solve SA’s power problems. Renewable and non renewable energy generation was must work hand in hand.

Hahaha his not wrong though.

😂😂😂😂but he is not God what if the wind is gone for 10 days . This dude is the one destroying eskom .

Just for to charge higher electricity prices to a population of high unemployment and grant dependant.

Yet*😂😂😂😂

Licensed to destroy

do not be so sure = this is Souf Êfreeeaaaka k

True, however saboteurs can damage the actual power windmills or solar panels.

Nooooooooooo it can be stolen Geoengineering and it will cause excess demand and less willing supply which would cause more black outs

He underestimates the ANC this one

They will steal the solar panels and cables.

The ANC after hearing this: 'hold my beer'

What a kak comment from De Ruyter. We don't have a problem with coal being stolen. It's always about the money.

Indeed

😂😂😂

These ppl are agents deployed by global organizations like the UN, WEF and the WHO, to transform this country, not for our own benefit, but for their nefarious ends...

Shut up

When you hire a non technical person to run a technical company he will be talking about stealing of the sun and wind as a major determining factor for a failing project that will never be sustainable enough to run a whole country with the given budget.

Ori_RSA Just like the music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

But the electricity will be more expensive, you ask yourself how

🤣🚮

Poor reasoning

They will steal the money needed for the infrastructure for solar and wind. The MYANC are criminals!!

... But anc will find a way to tax it ...

Ha ha good for him.

This guy is useless

The country has been held to ransom by an organised crime syndicate saboting Eskom for gains for far to long.

after they have made more money from renewable energy, they will come back and say they are moving to coal.

You'll be surprised.

This guy said he need 2 years to sort out loadshedding know he wants another 2 years wtf

What is good about Britain's sun and wind? Thst RACIAL statement if you ask me?

Who will benefit from that proposal if not the WMC

Moving to renewables is certainly a good thing, but it would also be useless if the infrastructure to generate power from these sources were stolen, poorly maintained, or sabotaged.

🤣

True that!

Basically saying, 'iyangihlula mina lento.'

😂😂😂

No but we could be charged in the future for using it. They will find a way, believe me.

🤣🤣

Trying to hide his incompetence in every way possible

While at it how is the maintenance on the gas turbines going Or should we wait 9 years to hear that they were ran down

Thinking capacity of this Afrikaner 😹😹🙆

lol

But apparently it can be charged for

The more he speaks, is the more I'm convinced we gonna be dealing with black outs for the next 10 years.

Don't be to sure, these ANC Comrades will amaze you with their skills! 🤣😂🤣

It is stolen already bcoz only the few IPPs owned by the elite sell R2.06kWh to Eskom & Eskom sell R0.90kWh to the citizens.

🤣😂😂😂 De Ruyter don't really know politicians and their thieving ways.

Everything this man gets quoted, I ask myself alot of questions.

Luthuli House deployee..

That's because the ANC already sold them (and our seas) to the highest unethical bidder.

Maselandini,if your plate is full,that's not an instruction to finish it. It's like a buffet dinner,if you know you know

But they can still the equipment that harnesses the energy for electricity De Ruyter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

By time someone said that we all know… It’s as if there’s a rush to get the country to its lowest point.

So we only realize this now. Decades after it’s been the narrative.

Nooooooo. Is he saying that his employer the Anc is thieves

They will steal the solar panels and the wind turbines

He's a chameleon

This one is very disrespectful to citizens. His here to push his owm agenda

You don’t know South African politicians then

He's growing very arrogant like Belinda and all of them, very condescending and disrespectful.

MYANC = Challenge accepted.

De Traitor earns over R500k a month to tell us that. We have intellectual degenerates who rule over us. We allow them to screw us over

But but...don't talk too soon... at one point there were talks of decolonising the weather...

But we know which party will steal the sun and wind

ANC cadres and tenderpreneurs furiously googling 'how to steal wind and sunlight'...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

He's in for a rude awakening.

ANC right now “challenge accepted”

This is South Africa. You will be surprised when it happens.

You underestimate the ANC...

Disgracefully incompetent… yet royally rewarded!

But you allowed it!

Trust me, it could. If by stolen he means putting it in pockets and walking away with it, then yes. But there is far more complex thieving than that. Also, most of the energy harvesting rights are owned by internationals. So already, like our minerals, they are stolen.

What about land ?

Great sense of humor 😂

Afrikaner logic at it's phenomenal best👏🏿👏🏿🤣

Watch! they will charge us for the wind and sun

Don’t be so sure about that. The ANC can steel anything, they have proven that. Have you learnt nothing about living in Africa if there is something to be stolen, they will find a way to do it. Only thing they are good at.

True, Menner, maar diamonds, and Silver can be stolen in South Africa,

So that's why De Ruyter, Pravin Gordhan & Cyril Ramaphosa are planning to steal the coal and supply it to European countries, and leave SA on Blackouts... The hoax behind renewable energies only exists in SA. European countries coal demand is too high. WE'RE NOT FOOLS

Please FFS don't temp the ANC.

True

Anything is possible when it comes to the ANC... they'll find a way to loot and steal from nature!!!✊

If there were a nuclear winter, I'd beg to differ.

He doesn’t know himself or his people! 😬😬🚮

🤣🤣🤣 sounds like he has given up

MYANC - “Hold my beer”

This rubbish talking nonsense he don't know how to fix Eskom now hidden behind silly comments

Great thinking. I support the idea 💡

You can be sure the cadres are working on it

🤣🤣🤣🤣 haiiyy

If it could, it would

Has he lived in RSA? 😂

The sooner Eskom shifts to green energy, the sooner the corrupt saboteurs who have infiltrated there will be left in the cold, and the sooner the end of loadshedding.

And solar panels😂

The ANC will take his remarks as a challenge and ramapussy will form a task team to investigate how the sun and wind works so they can plan a heist🤡

u sure , so far almost almost everything u tink of was stolen , rite down to wigs and takkies off dead bodies

😂

I rest my case 🙌🏾

Uyasihlanyela lomlungu

I wish he had the spine to tell these ‘green global saviours’ from faraway lands to piss off.

ANC will find a way....

Why not? You don't use it? Instead, you export our coal? I agree theft is a crime and so is playing with our people's lives

Don't be so sure when the ANC is in power .

NewsPrime1012 Which country is he living in? Cadres will make a plan to steal the sun and wind. MYANC CyrilRamaphosa

😂😂😂😂 the ANC will now take up that challenge.

This country never fails to amaze me

Has he met politicians?

True. It does not take sophistication to steal solar panels and batteries.

What happened to the Cahora Bassa Dam largest hydro electric power plant in Southern Africa?

Well, they spray Chem-trails everyday. Trying to disrupt the same sun and wind. What's new?

Politicians generate a lot of wind. How can we funnel theirs to generate electricity? 😄

They will definitely find a way ... Politicians don't play.

But the panels, batteries and cable can… and WILL be stolen 😂😂 SMH

FFS, what a genius.

You underestimate the people they will find ways to corrupt even this idea

Soke Sbone 😂😂🤦

News24 desperately trying to sanitize De Ruyter's incompetence and massive corruption at Eskom under his misleadership.

I would not bet on it......is he planning on having 24x7 armed security to protect solar farms and wind turbines?

🤣🤣

🤣. Cadres, hold my beer.

_Business Guys.... Please google more... Wu has days on end that they are 100% on renewables only. With coal as a backup. Please read more.. FFS

_Business AndreDeryter uyanya uthi abo Melika ne Europe bafike njani labekhona.They used this resource,coal optimally and to the fullest.Its cheap and abundantly available.Nala when ubaba uMsholozi wanted to add more nuclear,renewable as you know.AndreDeRyterMustGo PravinRamPhosaMustGo

_Business We need coal, gas and nuclear. And LOTS of it. Fast.

_Business True, don't think some people realise that the government made sure that eskom has to fail,selling off our coal minerals to other countries,&deliberately placing currupt cardes in places to make sure he is maid out a failure,yet CyrilRamaphosa trator forgets his 2015 bs speech.

_Business 😂 😂 Eskom CEO

_Business Is China stuck in the stone age? They just built a coal power station

_Business I won't be surprised if we discover that the sabotage has always been from within building rationale and paving ways for renewables. The question is, who is to benefit from these renewables? Private companies or who?

_Business Nampak's demise rings a bell,you are not fit for purpose de Ruyter,accept the reality!

_Business He has energy to respond to criticism than keeping the lights! Mxm! Incompetent CEO.

_Business Renewable energy is a scam to make the rich even richer. Don't be dribbled, keep your eyes open.

_Business He is really delivering on the mandate to destroy Eskom..

_Business The world is NOT READY for renewable energy yet! Look around the world where renewable is failing! And eskom is failing the people for over a decade!

_Business If you knew anything about building base load capacity for SA Industry you would know that renewables could NEVER be sufficient you're just a NWO puppet Andre

_Business Solar and wind are unlimited - the components that are used like copper. lithium etc are non-renewable and limited - coal is not a problem:

_Business He is delivering the mandate

_Business I totally agree, Renewable energy is way way better than The Rubbish we gave now. Stop the rot fit the solar panels, install batteries, then you will forget about ESKOM & enjoy the Benefits of using FREE Energy from the Sun

_Business André se piel kop

_Business Can we lock him up if it is proven he is wrong in the future? Easy to slam critics instead of debating the issue. Easy to claim you are right if you are not held accountable when you are wrong.

_Business

errolbsk _Business Renewable energy is a scam, SA won’t survive with it so please

_Business That is why he's blacked out the whole country. To force everyone to buy a solar panel and stay out of the grid. This man is playing with people's lives & livelihoods. Endangering our economy. He has to go!

_Business This is a man who still believes in Covid vaccines

_Business Your decisions are not in the best interest of South Africans

_Business How I wish we had a suicide bomber to sort this one out.

_Business What is his job anyway? Can a bus transport people without a driver? SA'n government n Eskom are culprits in this case of loadshading for hiring a useless CEO at Eskom, period.

_Business Please tell eskom that i have a few R on my Shell V+ card if they need to buy diesel

_Business You are keeping us in the Stone Age you and your corrupt ANC !🙄

_Business Media will never tell you about his previous work because it’s concerning

_Business Isilima

_Business This guy must be fired asap.

_Business But if that's the only option till things get better use coal better than sitting in the Dark

_Business Renewable is the only way to go

_Business Our greater concern is our country is busy borrowing from the wrong loan sharks... Your plans might be good, your execution is flawed because it is anti-developmental. Why can't our country collaborate with its BRICS partners in achieving these same economic goals?

_Business But you guys said we must pay you a monthly fee for having solar power, You are part of the thieves now.

_Business Privatise the energy sector, gov can own the the power lines but businesses can own the supply, make it bbbee compliant too and you watch, loadshedding will very quickly start fixing itself.

_Business If it's not pitbulls, it's Eskom but nobody is talking about what's really happening in the sober FIFA world cup'22, can't even watch the highlights because the lights are always off. Imagine we all took our pitbulls to De Ruyters house instead of SPCA, that would be fun.

_Business Incompetent!

_Business Anc puppet

_Business It is the only option for now and for our kids

_Business

_Business So according to this man job creation is not his priority.

_Business Plural ya serota str8

_Business The NONSENSE THEY SPEW!!🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢

_Business Trust a wyt guy to lead you to a promised land 🥲

_Business Sell out

_Business Crooks that were mistakenly paid R1bn by the same De Ruyter.

_Business ceoEskom Eskom_SA his true colours coming out now that he helped SA government secure the $8.5bn loan for Eskom2.0. Always knew he wasn't interested in saving Eskom but building the next failed one with renewables that doesn't work....

_Business Dog of darkness

_Business We are in the stone age with no electricity wtf lol

_Business Renewables are definitely important for SA- not sure why it took us so long to understand this….

_Business A comment like this explains exactly that he is not at all committed to getting Eskom up and running, as it should... and actually doesn't even give a shit for whoever Eskom's current inefficiency is affecting! Basically giving the middle finger to anyone and everyone...!!

_Business We care about having electricity and no loadshedding. We don't care which age we are stuck in, unless you want us to have a modern loadshedding.

_Business The fucking stone age always supplied power.

_Business Sun and wind, hehehe 🤡

_Business That's a change of thinking Mr De Ruyter. Not long ago you said if we go green we'll end up with satge 15 loadshedding. Did they pay up well to change your stance

_Business hoekom sleep jy jou voete daarmee of jou regering doen iets en hou op praat

_Business Keep pushing your globalist agenda. Ramarama is visiting the King for this exact reason. To get his next set of instructions to further destroy SA, keep its people uneducated and unemployment whilst they ship all our resources to the western world. Our coal is going east and west

_Business We don’t have any lights on RIGHT NOW. Goodness gracious dude, go take a hike with your masters that pay you to spew such rubbish. Renewable se moer en jy weet dit. Donner

_Business We dont give a s*** whether its stone age or new age, as long as it f****** works!

_Business Coal. Stone. It's an older code, but it checks out...

_Business O.k so what is you baseline power support then? Nuclear, coal, fuel oil? You need a constant supply as the sun don't shine at night and the wind don't always blow. What will the fall back be? Please tell us your plans without including the taxpayers in this SNUFA.

_Business 👌👏👏👏👏

_Business Uyanya lo... The European countries who are stealing our coal for they power station are they stuck in stone age....angabosinyela msunery

_Business And how will he manage cost of production per unit?

_Business Ek kan nie verstaan wat fout is met steenkool. Ons land het filters in gesit wat al die steenkool as op gevang het. Ons kon swak steenkool brand en krag op wek. Ons het van die beste krag stasies ter wêreld gehad. Nou wil hul on doeltrevend groen gaan.

_Business He’s looking at you Gwede you old fossil

_Business Will solar meet South Africa’s energy requirements? How long will this take?

_Business Only problem is Panels, Batteries ,Inverters...and Wind turbines can ....but I applaud De Ruyter...bra got some jokes

_Business He shouldn't use that term so lightly. Many SA people are living in awful conditions & his role has not helped to make things better. Perhaps he can move over to another form of energy 'expertise' and someone who understands and is trained for his current job can replace him.

_Business The stone age - really? No wonder Khusile looks like a deconstructed version of Stonehenge.

_Business What they can not steal, will be vandalized.

_Business The stone age would work well if you lot weren't so obsessed with monopolizing the power utility

_Business We must get rid of this man asap.

_Business He has been spending to much time with the ANC and has lost his marbles, if he thinks that the renewables will not be stolen

_Business What renewables?🤷🏽‍♂️ when Eskom is burning diesel at record high levels, imagine 50million litres will only last 15days that’s just crazy

_Business No. I simply said it's possible to steal the sun

_Business Spot on

_Business O pallwa ke malahla, renewable that still need sto be explored otla e kgona?

_Business This man was never going to fix Eskom. Zero intentions.

_Business When the world starts replacing their end-of-life solar panels... guess where all that waste will be dumped?

_Business ag voertsek Andre, jy word deur die WEF, New World Order en World Bank betaal

_Business His poes

_Business Show me one country where renewables work. Ask Germany they are going back to coal. Ask Ghana how that worked for them? WEF agenda we are so screwed.

_Business The only ones who still want coal, along with the damage it does to our environment and our health, are the ones who are benefiting from it through crime. Renewables can alleviate the energy crisis a lot sooner but we also use stone age arguments to justify coal.

_Business He’ll still fail to run a renewable ONLY ESKOM, this one, he doesn’t have it in him

_Business Which renewables is Eskom investing in

_Business The 🧠 capacity of this CEO is questionable 🤔

_Business This guy has lost a plot, he has chosen to be a salesperson for the renewables instead of ensuring our energy security. Frankly, we are in serious trouble, one begins to wonder whose interest is he serving as it is definitely not ours.

_Business Sun,wind dispatchable?

_Business Bought and paid for globalist

_Business But it wont work and he knows it. Stone age worked till he came along

_Business Never before has a more true statement been said about the MYANC govt 'Sun and wind, unlike coal, cant be stolen'

_Business How many wind and solar farms will you need to replace coal and how long will it take to achieve this? You can’t switch off coal and nuclear “overnight”. Think before you do! Or else, welcome to loadshedding and blackouts.

_Business Laat hy Foff man

_Business Andre jack of all trades, he is now a climatologist. Talking about white privilege

_Business tell him to eat his own underwear. first show us where there transition has worked and is currently flourishing?

_Business He has to do his masters' bidding...... even if it is total nonsense. For R7bar a year, I'd also stand on my head and whistle Nkosi sikhelele Afrika through my a...hole.

_Business Eskom CEO and Gwede Mantashe vs Ramaphosa and Pravin nice match to watch. _Business koko_matshela tedblom tshepo_kgadima GwedeMantashe1 Eskom_SA ANCParliament IOL SundayTimesZA Newzroom405 SowetanLIVE TheStar_news

_Business “Stone Age” is when South Africans pay for a service not delivered.

_Business When is he resigning

_Business And the developed countries are doing what with coal now.

_Business Today they fail and ultimately say that coal energy is nonsense compared to green energy. We are led.

_Business Like he did with Nampak? Wanyela

_Business How is this idiot still CEO

_Business

_Business This one is suffering from Nowism what is Stoge Age about coal? These ClimateZA & their de Ruyter are dancing to the international markets offering South Africa loans for Just Transition whilst almost the entire Europe has increased its consumption of coal

_Business 'Slammed'

_Business Right now, we ARE stuck in the stone age, because you can't supply electricity 24/7. I have a kettle, but must boil water on a gas stove like I'm making coffee for Jan van Riebeeck

_Business Further confirmation of a WEFpuppet 's puppet. Total renewable shift in a coal rich country is a scam. ClimateScam to be exact.

_Business Has renewable energy worked in Germany since the country went back to coal power station after Russia stopped supplying gas?

_Business South Africans need to stop defending mediocrity

_Business Renewables didn't work in Germany's energiewende flop,why does he think they will work in SA? Must we follow the money?Who will supply those renewables...de Ruyter you are fired!! Twice!

_Business We would like working power

_Business Coz they want money the hole time !!!!! Renewable energy is where we supposed to be already !

_Business R3.4billion written off for Soweto. Votes already bought. Loadshedding is for life. Live with it. Support the present ruling party.

_Business Solar and wind hey? Completely unreliable and expensive to build and maintain. Sorry fossil fuels are still the best option.

_Business We are stuck in the darkness

_Business Remember Eskom are owned by the state.

_Business Lol and solar and wind can't be sabotaged? Lol don't be a knob

_Business This guy is way overrated

_Business This non thinker must just provide us with electricity.

_Business Right now we in the dark age.

_Business We need both though. You can't run a country on renewables alone. Look at how Germany is already falling back on coal (and don't blame the Russia/Ukraine alone)

_Business We honestly don't care how he feels about how we feel about him. He's at the head of the thing that's making our life difficult, nothing out of his mouth is worth entertaining

_Business Asifuni namalahle ethu

_Business So says the man who is burning diesel and sending coal to Germany and UK.

_Business Andre de Ruyter you are selling us down the river and you know it.

_Business What utter bs. Your forward thinking is what made Nampak the company it is today. You have no plan to prevent a simple thing such as theft of coal? Employ the use of drones and trackers. The issues isn't even theft but the 3rd force you are beholden to which will benefit frm this

_Business On the other hand they are selling tonnes of coal to EU and America. Are those countries not stuck in stone age. If De Ruyter is not a fool then South Africans are fools.

_Business Stark raving mad! We are in the stone ages. What a joke.

_Business Loney tone republic people can steal panels etc
