Why don't Eskom take charge of the power and don't involve government municipal and use theire own system to collect payers money. Why don't eskom built prepaid boxes in all houses and don't count on municipal people to give them theire money and collect it from the user themselves no more government involvement.

So WHO is supposed to hold them accountable because the current figures of authority that are supposed to do that are not doing it, who is supposed to who them too accountable? How do we as citizens play an active role in ensuring that we aren't taken for a Poe's anymore beside having to wait for rigged elections? If you discover that the breakfast you order is human shit, you do not wait for the morning for breakfast to be served so you can change your order, you deal with it immediately, so how do I as an ordinary citizen go about that in a way that will ensure results?
Catch the snakes stealing and sell their houses , cars and clear their bank accounts to recover stolen money and then throw them in jails for years and let them work for free for years , that,s the way to stop these criminals for good. WHO AGREES WIT ME ?
Even of this were possible, remember thst this could result on govnt overreach. What stops govnt after this from doing that to anyone who is seen as an enemy of the state? This could lead to full blown communism. I would love the death penalty to be brought back. But, with a communist govt this is not a good idea. Yes, the ANC is communist. EFF is just more extreme.
Mr dear Ruyter is an outstanding man. Fighting the cANCer rot in this country is a battle as epic as David vs Goliath. We must support him and the councils that want to generate their own power.

@@Truth_Hurts528 Where were you in 1994? The first few years of the new SA was fantastic and in the first decade of 2000 we had 7% growth for several years. Was this not the bright future? Maybe the truth really hurts?

We are already Zimbabwe 2.0 and might overtake them in couple of months.sad to say this but we are going exactly the same path they took to arrive there
It Doesn’t Have to be this way. The same way orania has run, should be the way that minority communities MUST Run their municipalities. Water treatment and delivery, building high technology-Low cost electricity generation that only serves the minority population since they would be the only ones who have the intelligence to run such technologies. You can’t fix stupid and BEE has proven that in every single way possible. A huge group of minority populations who have been mistreated by the majority population and its feeble minded politicians are the problem. Free the Cape and show the world that Africa has the potential for a separate country from the criminal Government of the ANC!
I said this in 1997 and I was laughed at. We have always been Zimbabwe and more, it began when our borders collapsed, our cities and towns collapsed and worse our crime is at the level and of the Brazilian and Nigerian crime, corruption is is scary.I do not think that we will ever recover.
Allowing more than 20% of your local budget to go to salaries is looking for trouble. Ekhuruleni is at the moment on 80% of that. We are Zimbabwe and there is no escaping it.
I fail to comprehend why municipalities are a middle man between the customer and Eskom. It leaves the utility open to the fraud that blights the country. We don't pay other utilities via these crooks.
David you are doing such good work, quality work, for your country and us as citizens by keeping us informed. Thank you as always. More fire brother, more fire!💥
haven't watched the full interview, but this pretty much sums up the state of our government... the biggest problem is that there is no accountability. In my local area there was a huge increase in cable theft, so i met with my local councillor next to some cables that were lying on the sidewalk from the previous evening where the thieves mistook worthless Telkom cables for power cables. so as i started questioning her about the lack of action being taken against cable theft, she basically explained that the police captain said that they don't guard municipal infrastructure and the municipality must hire guards if they have a problem with theft and i should also not ask her about all the cables being stolen off train lines because that's not her department it's railways responsibility. so we just keep on going in circles and no one is ever responsible for anything.🤦
Ive said it before and i say it again and again, THESE COUNCILORS ARE A BIG JOKE AS MOST OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY ARE "SUPPOSE" TO REPRESENT DONT EVEN KNOWS THEM, they are earning money for jam and play the part as big time politicians but infact they are small guys but sadly earning big money that goes to their heads.
Responsibility spelt in the new SA language is" I haven't got a fu*ken clue and why should I be concerned. They will just send someone to eliminate me"
My friend, I've said it all along, if there is a category of "so called wannabe politicians" that they must get rid off once and for all then its all these councilors that wanna act like top politicians and most forgot about their communities immediately after voted in, infact most people dont even knows who their councilors are or where they are located, you only see their best dress pictures on poles and all over the bloody place comes election time. They all are just a bloody waste of time and unnecessary taxpayers money.
One could argue that the people behind the sabotage are the Directors of Eskom (current and past), SCOPA and the shareholder of Eskom, representing the South African public, for failing in their fiduciary duty of care.
Give everyone an IQ test at ESKOM! Anyone who can’t score at least 100 should removed immediately as a danger to the company and themselves in such work conditions. Then you hire some ex Ex FBI lie detector test to see who the criminals are and let them dig ditches and disconnect the illegal township power-lines.
A low IQ does not necessary equate to criminality though.Some very clever people steal and plunder . Just look at the woke BS comming out of universities , its a crime again the human brain .
Good Idea, but you forget we live in South Africa, where hiring has a racist biast to black people, and because I study with 80% black people I know there are competent people out there, but it really gets to me when we study the same thing, and even if I have the highest mark in my course, I will not get the job, because I am white. This is why I will leave eventually, cause this country does not want me here, it is sad to hear, but they can tear it down themselves. I can see a possible change with the ANC caught recently, but it has to happen drastically, people need to open their eyes and want a change, we afe in a similar position we were in 1994, where we can stop corruption and possible racism, everyone should have an equal chance, cause this is revenge towards people who had nothing to do with Apartheid and we are just feeding the rage in an endless cycle.
@@BloodHawk31 Oh lord knows I understand the rules and regulations in South Africa. I’ve been informed about BBBEE/BEE. I also have been told About the horrible things that happen to women every 19 minutes and how 64 people are eliminated Daily. Looks like Government Has Failed the population in every single way possible. I saw that basically a Couple hundred thousand people are the only ones who actually keep the Corrupt Government running in Their Federal Taxes when you look at the percentage rates. A 50 percent unemployment rate with a 25 percent Aids Rate. Letting the municipality’s Sell electricity when the electricity company is already state owned is a Double Tax add that They are totally overstaffed from Corrupt ANC leadership. Almost every local government is a Failure BUT a few in the Western Cape. It can’t Keep Running this Way. Either China or the IMF/WB will either want sovereignty over certain spending amounts Or interest rates will bankrupt the country. The unemployment rates will only get worse because the mines need cheap electricity rates and good Railroads with Good and fast and working Ports. They Will Have Another Riot But this Time it won’t be even able to be stopped unless deadly force is needed but the majority of the people will just take off their uniforms when the entire country except the WC is on fire. Have a plan B because in 12-18 months or less something will happen to start this meltdown.
As a SA'CAN, i beg this current government, please step aside and give another government from a different or alliances of parties an oppertunity to get SA stable PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
A lot of respect for this man, he probably has the worst job in the country. I want you to know that we pray for you for much wisdom and a lot of courage. It can't be easy to make the right decisions and be threatened for doing so from all corners. God bless you Mr. de Ruyter
Dislodge the ruling class for starters. Deal with criminality starting with decrepit judges and magistrates (who in the name of human rights, permit lawlessness and the destruction of public property) take in a new corps of young lawyers to occupy leadership positions in SAPS and the Prosecution. And pay them accordingly.
It's very easy to destroy something which you had no hand in creating/building. Having been given the country on a platter was like letting a bunch of kids loose in a toy shop.
An insightful interview with an exceptional business leader who is intentional about making a difference for the benefit of all South Africans. Sadly, he was not appreciated and supported by government where political will was lacking.
Not a good situation to be in- I personally feel very badly for Mr. de Ruyter. In very basic ordinary person terms - how the hell can even maintenance of the Grid be effectively carried out if useless and corrupt municipalities don't pay their dues? Then billions written off? And who foots the damn bill? US STUPID TAXPAYERS ! Something has to happen to change this BS, and fast..
The answer is to unburden South Africa from the anc.... the level of criminality throughout their ENTIRE structure , like cancer can only be exercised by total removal
Why are municipalities responsible for the supply of electricity? This should be the responsibility of Eskom which can charge individuals more than they charge municipalities and consumers will pay less.
I really am aghast to hear the above. Y strong conviction is that these selfish greedy without conscience monsters should be arrested IMMEDIATELY kept in jail and sentenced to solitary lifelong confinement for the DEATHS they are responsible for. I feel that courts should make these priority cases. Where are the politicians / leaders who has the guts to push these issues to the front! You are enriching yourselves and do not care about the damage destruction caused to the multitudes of helpless innocent South African people.
There are so much illegal connections done by non paid customers all over our country that's why there is not enough electricity for the paid customers and now all is cut-off for those customers
Everyone (incuding the ANC, which is quite something, as they have proven their stupidity repeatedly) knows that, apart from a total lack of maintenance (and I mean total) the problem is that eskom is being looted by the employees, including management, and the drivers of the coal trucks. Unfortunately, our "government" does not have the balls to tackle the problem. It is way past time for change, South Africa.
Andre we wish you well. You are in our prayers. You did your best but until there is a political will to sort out this nonsense it will not get better. God bless you and your family and we hope you will find a better career where your life is not in danger.
Throwing rocks instead of high quality coal into Eskoms antiquated old fire power stations could also be viewed as sabotage, not to mention treasonous.
The justice system and police should support Eskom at bringining those thieves to jail asap so that we should not suffer from increased tariff and loadsheddung
Behind sabotage? It is the ANC corruption and lawlessness rule of the police in SA. Fact: affirmative action and Black Empowerment are also responsible because people with no knowledge about their jobs or integrity are there to only receive huge salaries and look important. This will never change as long as we have these factions in SA.
@@Jay-rd3hn How many years did the previously disadvanced people have to empower themselves by training, studying etc. Or is this going to be a never ending excuse.
We in Jeffreys Bay are paying our monthly use plus a Basic amount that is more then our use per month. I would like someone explain to me, why we got to pay a Basic amount. So to me it looks like if we are charged double for what we use.
why is the hawks not sending undercover investigators into these plants to get to the bottom of the sabotage.Who the role players are and have a clearer understanding of what's happening
GM wants to implement the Turkish owned Karpowership at any cost. Which makes me wonder...The Eskom problem is a very intermeshed and complicated situation. The fact that there is so little help from government, and actually opposing the many solutions that would benefit Eskom, and the fact that there is very little consequence in the crime of stealing, corruption and sabotage, makes it almost impossible for Eskom to function. It is like trying to stop a tsunami with a mesh wire.
The SA'can leadership is responsible for the state of SA. You can't prove guilt if the system is backing you. Political sabotage is a crime against the people.
I think that is fantastic if there is another way that the people of South Africa can get electricity like what they did in the Western Cape for instance. Another thing that came to people's minds, that could it be possible to pay directly to Escom, instead of going through a municipality. This would avoid them from taking money and from over spending. Isn't there a method that can be implemented for direct payments, so that the innocent people do not have to suffer. What also happens is that many households get connected to cables to get electricity for free. What they should do is to go in at certain areas znd do inspections like for drugs or firearms and do some serious changes to stop that kind of thievery as well.
New laws regarding sentencing for sabotage need adjustment. In army "stealers of rations executed" life for anyone implicated in defrauding our power grid. Same rules as to poachers need to be implemented where the offenders vehicle and all assets as well as the employers are attached. Then life sentence's given to the guilty. The investigation must go all the way to the top. Sad thing is they getting instruction from USA&EU.
@@truth-Hurts375 It's bound to happen with raising fuel n food prices. Stand up now n get these captured politicians out. This was planned years ago for the Zionist luciferians new world order agenda. Wake up man. Do you think the riots in kzn just happen suddenly
Cheers thx 4 the simple truth it is a political issue and we all hope that the ones that voted for the people to have taken us to this point are the ones tgat will suffer the most
The fix via the voting booth is not an option in SA. The population at large has never been sufficiently educated to realise that the current trajectory under the ANC will destroy the country.
Look at the widespread copper theft - eg along the road to Lanseria - streetlamps all pulled down and stripped... and no one saw it. Maybe because the thieves stuck to the speed limit.
Eskom should have offices in every town and rand water board etc and we pay in to these offices thus skipping the thieving in muncipalities. And find meter readers who do their jobs properly black,white, and coloured, people ,trustworthy, people. Or phoning our readings in or taking it in ourselves.
Hello, what about separating every power generating unit as it a sole ownership unit, providing electricity to Eskom as the only seller and distributer
But will they? It is outrageous to think people stole such large amounts on a monthly basis of and, quite possibly skip the country in a R500 bail and not get prosecuted and sentenced. For that reason alone R500 bail does not fit the crime!!
God bless you André and the Blood of Jesus protects you against the enemy and the angels are around you and your family. Hold on to His enourmous Grace.
Viewing this just recently and following Mr De Ruyter have given notice of his resignation, it is becoming more and more clear that an honorable man simply could not stomach working in the cesspool of corruption which electricity generation in SA has become. What hope is there now I wonder.
And now we hear they tried to poison him. He does not trust the police to jnvestigate so used his own security to put a file together. The cops are in on this in some instances. I don't blame him for quitting. No job is worth your life.

Everyone (incuding the ANC, which is quite something, as they have proven their stupidity repeatedly) knows that, apart from a total lack of maintenance (and I mean total) the problem is that eskom is being looted by the employees, including management, and the drivers of the coal trucks. Unfortunately, our "government" does not have the balls to tackle the problem. It is way past time for change, South Africa.
Andre we wish you well. You are in our prayers. You did your best but until there is a political will to sort out this nonsense it will not get better. God bless you and your family and we hope you will find a better career where your life is not in danger.
If a municipality does not pay Eskom take the service away from the municipality back to Eskom like it was way back
Mr de Ruyter for President!
If we ad more renewable energy companys then many people will be able to pay their dept and eskom should be privatised to cut of all the long fingers😠
Throwing rocks instead of high quality coal into Eskoms antiquated old fire power stations could also be viewed as sabotage, not to mention treasonous.
The justice system and police should support Eskom at bringining those thieves to jail asap so that we should not suffer from increased tariff and loadsheddung
Answer. ANC and their cronies.
With all the corruptions and commissions of enquiry, name 1 politician in jail
The anc said all will free just vote for us....now let's see how that works out...
The answer to your question is simple: The ANC. It's bizarre that we even asking this question, the real question is how do we solve it?
It seems their workerforce are creating their own overtime. It is an old trick.
Why are politicians selective when it comes to criminal activities and corruption?
Kan ons nie ons rekening en krag DIREK inbetaal by eskom nie.
The pigs are feasting, not gonna stop them now with anything less than a lead pill.
our democracy has failed us. How do we vote for a competent, accountable leadership??
Whoever isn't stealing somewhere else is the obvious answer.
Behind sabotage? It is the ANC corruption and lawlessness rule of the police in SA. Fact: affirmative action and Black Empowerment are also responsible because people with no knowledge about their jobs or integrity are there to only receive huge salaries and look important. This will never change as long as we have these factions in SA.
@@Jay-rd3hn How many years did the previously disadvanced people have to empower themselves by training, studying etc. Or is this going to be a never ending excuse.
South Africa studied at the same school as Zimbabwe
We in Jeffreys Bay are paying our monthly use plus a Basic amount that is more then our use per month. I would like someone explain to me, why we got to pay a Basic amount. So to me it looks like if we are charged double for what we use.
why is the hawks not sending undercover investigators into these plants to get to the bottom of the sabotage.Who the role players are and have a clearer understanding of what's happening
GM wants to implement the Turkish owned Karpowership at any cost. Which makes me wonder...The Eskom problem is a very intermeshed and complicated situation. The fact that there is so little help from government, and actually opposing the many solutions that would benefit Eskom, and the fact that there is very little consequence in the crime of stealing, corruption and sabotage, makes it almost impossible for Eskom to function. It is like trying to stop a tsunami with a mesh wire.
The SA'can leadership is responsible for the state of SA. You can't prove guilt if the system is backing you. Political sabotage is a crime against the people.
I think that is fantastic if there is another way that the people of South Africa can get electricity like what they did in the Western Cape for instance.
Another thing that came to people's minds, that could it be possible to pay directly to Escom, instead of going through a municipality. This would avoid them from taking money and from over spending. Isn't there a method that can be implemented for direct payments, so that the innocent people do not have to suffer. What also happens is that many households get connected to cables to get electricity for free.
What they should do is to go in at certain areas znd do inspections like for drugs or firearms and do some serious changes to stop that kind of thievery as well.
The root of the problem is that Escom has a monopoly.
History in 30 years from now will look back and recall an absolute feeding frenzy...even their ancestors were not as greedy as them
New laws regarding sentencing for sabotage need adjustment. In army "stealers of rations executed" life for anyone implicated in defrauding our power grid.
Same rules as to poachers need to be implemented where the offenders vehicle and all assets as well as the employers are attached. Then life sentence's given to the guilty.
The investigation must go all the way to the top.
Sad thing is they getting instruction from USA&EU.
WOW, André was looking particularly tired - worn out even.
I will not support munic power. Direct Eskom is the only way
And all the ANC thieves
South Africans have to stand together n hit the streets, bring this country to a halt until justice is served on all corrupt politicians
@@truth-Hurts375 It's bound to happen with raising fuel n food prices. Stand up now n get these captured politicians out. This was planned years ago for the Zionist luciferians new world order agenda. Wake up man. Do you think the riots in kzn just happen suddenly
The country is already on halt.
Cheers thx 4 the simple truth it is a political issue and we all hope that the ones that voted for the people to have taken us to this point are the ones tgat will suffer the most
The NPA and the police will do what the government says.
Money talks ...Mr De Ruyter is a excellent worker...
The fix via the voting booth is not an option in SA. The population at large has never been sufficiently educated to realise that the current trajectory under the ANC will destroy the country.
Speak to your employees about the state of the country. Educate them. I did and it makes a difference
South Africa is a crime tolerant society. Voting the ANC out is not going to be a long term solution.
May i just say that this is a blerry Handsome man...💞
❤️ agree
Look at the widespread copper theft - eg along the road to Lanseria - streetlamps all pulled down and stripped... and no one saw it. Maybe because the thieves stuck to the speed limit.
Eskom should have offices in every town and rand water board etc and we pay in to these offices thus skipping the thieving in muncipalities. And find meter readers who do their jobs properly black,white, and coloured, people ,trustworthy, people. Or phoning our readings in or taking it in ourselves.
Jammer dat ek tot dusver die enigste is wat jou duim-op gee. Jy verdien baie meer.
Hello, what about separating every power generating unit as it a sole ownership unit, providing electricity to Eskom as the only seller and distributer
The amount of bail decided upon has very little to do with the crime. I would like to see those charges lead to convictions and sentencing, though.
But will they? It is outrageous to think people stole such large amounts on a monthly basis of and, quite possibly skip the country in a R500 bail and not get prosecuted and sentenced.
For that reason alone R500 bail does not fit the crime!!
God bless you André and the Blood of Jesus protects you against the enemy and the angels are around you and your family. Hold on to His enourmous Grace.
Viewing this just recently and following Mr De Ruyter have given notice of his resignation, it is becoming more and more clear that an honorable man simply could not stomach working in the cesspool of corruption which electricity generation in SA has become. What hope is there now I wonder.
And now we hear they tried to poison him. He does not trust the police to jnvestigate so used his own security to put a file together. The cops are in on this in some instances. I don't blame him for quitting. No job is worth your life.
de Ruyter rock's.
BLAME ANC
I read in a Sunday newspaper that a senior manager at Eskom said that there is zero sabotage at Eskom. Is he a liar or not informed,shame.....!?
Liar liar for sure. So much proven and now the book Sabotage by Kyle Cowan well researched all the ESkom sabotage
Liar.
ban the sale of copper and bras on the open market
