Mojoman Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 And then I read crap like this and wonder why we are struggling away and pretending its not so bad here....I though this one had a brain but it looks like I am wrong...Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa visited Eskom on Thursday and described the under-strain power utility as a “glorious company”, its CEO said. “The deputy president referred to it as a glorious company,” Eskom CEO Tshediso Matona told reporters in Johannesburg. In the same briefing, Matona warned that there would be no end soon to load shedding, or scheduled blackouts. “This is a pattern that Eskom is going to find itself in for some time to come.” Matona said he had been with the company for three and a half months. “I have come to understand much more deeply the nature of the problem and what is required to deal with it. “We know what the problem is [and] we know what solution is required to get out of the situation that we find ourself in, as Eskom and as a country.” Eskom is like a car that has not been maintained, Matona said. “The metaphor of a car is very useful. If you continue to drive a car without maintaining it, it will carry you but at some point it breaks down. “I think this is what is happening with many generating units at Eskom.” Eskom has had a “maintenance philosophy” but it did not always stick to it. “Eskom has not stayed faithful to that maintenance religion for a very, long time. The reliability of our equipment is the price we are paying,” the CEO said.

shaper Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 “Eskom has not stayed faithful to that maintenance religion for a very, long time. The reliability of our equipment is the price we are paying,” the CEO said. So we must pay with blackouts and probably massive increase in electricity costs just because those now running Eskom were too dumb to understand maintenance!! barrykm, Edge540 and MrFine 3
nolipoli Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 In fairness to Matona, he has only been there for a few months, and is pretty much the first person at Eskom to admit that their problems are self inflicted. You can't say he hasn't been open with us on this one. Mamil 1

EmptyB Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Damn, this is going to play havoc with cycling on DSTV. Was looking forward to watching MTN Qhubeka in TDF.....
Christopher Brunsdon Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Ag shame, are you lot the ones I see coming up the little hill on your electric assisted bikes. Who needs Eskom to enjoy time in the saddle. Now get out there and ride.
johannrissik Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 "Eskom" and "maintenance philosophy" in the same sentence for some reason make me think about pigs and lipstick. DJR 1
