The Congress of the People (COPE) says the implementation of stage five rolling blackouts require the immediate resignation of Eskom CEO Andre De Ruyter and the entire board.

The blackouts have been continuing from one stage to the other over the last week. The power utility announced the implementation of stage five rolling blackouts from 10 am this morning until 5am on Monday morning.

Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said this is due to the breakdown of five generating units overnight and on Saturday morning, with a combined capacity of two-thousand-400 mega watts. COPE spokesperson Dennis Bloem says, “The time has come that Eskom CEO Andre De Ruyter and the entire board must resign immediately. It is very clear that they don’t have a plan to address this crippling load shedding. We are tired of the empty promises from President Cyril Ramaphosa and Minister Pravin Gordhan.

I agree 110% with the Congress of the people the entire Eskom board, Executives and CEO to resign with immediate effect!! Our country is going now to the pits!! Can we as the people call for an early Election!!!

Something at that Entity, his resignation won't solve our problem.

Now we are on stage six

Which COPE_SA the one&only COPE_SA that had a press briefing turned2fists fighting live in news channels in broader day light physically removing their leader TerroristsLekota by Madisha& Bloem what Eskom_SA is subjected2is their legacy as they were MYANC did maintained‼️

Other than barking with the dogs, where are their solutions? The whole government should resign!

It requires the removal of the governing party, and we the people have the power to fire the ANC by not voting for them

It's now Stage6, Andre De Ruyter must be fired, very incompetent

ANCisdisgraceful

Toothless political party,why do they wait until this stage as we are on stage 6,they must all go including their minister

If now we are on stage 6,he should have resigned already

Does that mean we will have electricity if they resign? If not what's the use. The government must just fix this mess. Municipalities must pay bill, izinyoka-nyoka must be disconnected and be made to pay for their electricity than enjoying free ridding.
