| 1631176290328879104 | Milking the Eskom cow: In a meeting with Public Enterprise Minister Pravin Gordhan, the NUM alleged that between 70% and 80% of Eskom’s 42,000-strong staff complement is engaged in some sort of corrupt activity. https://t.co/dzyBws3h2D via @BusinessLiveSA | 210 |
| 1623750950367158273 | Is an Electricity Minister in the Presidency an admission that Gwede Mantashe is an abject failure? Is this a way to keep him in his post but remove crucial responsibility for energy from him? #SONA2023 | 92 |
| 1632813950214471682 | The level of arrogance to disrespect an entire country with fuckery like this is just astounding. #cabinetreshuffle | 78 |
| 1628666309004214275 | Whether De Ruyter is lying or failed or whatever is irrelevant. Just noise. Fact is Eskom's failure is at the ANC's door. A whole Parliamentary enquiry led by ANC MP's including the current Public Enterprises Minister and the Minister in the Presidency laid it all bare. | 67 |
| 1644412790302441472 | From an era of grand scale corruption to one of grand scale incompetence. #Guptas #Ramaphosa | 38 |
| 1634156523336220672 | So he lied on his declaration form to the @IECSouthAfrica too? #Tshwanemayor https://t.co/S33UKAPsEe | 15 |
| 1623748507428438017 | More layers of bureaucracy for a government which has consistently failed to create administration's that actually work. Silken ribbons on broken boxes. #SONA2023 | 14 |
| 1644682741353414656 | Wow, the Tanzanians are on the ball. If it were SA they would have settled, raised a family, flown in some wedding guests, built a church, a multi million rand empire and run for public office 🤣🤣🤣 #ThaboBester | 13 |
| 1624427661291360258 | JONNY STEINBERG: Liberated from the law, hitmen put SA leaders in their crosshairs Still an important read. But people don't read and politicians like it that way. https://t.co/6EJYPeJOZt | 9 |
| 1640944851880386560 | JUSTICE MALALA: They brought SAA to its knees — why are they still free? @justicemalala 🔥🔥 https://t.co/i9puatC6OS via @BusinessLiveSA | 8 |

| 1615957761912717313 | “So it really doesn’t matter what the tariff increase is. If the price increase is high, there will be less need for a government bailout; if the price increase is low, there will be more need for a government bailout.” Chris Yelland https://t.co/PqvYjHNZEl via @BusinessLiveSA | 5 |

| 1640780176014430208 | SA at the edge of becoming a failed state, says RBPlat CEO. “Companies are spending a lot of money on security, not just to employ security guards to guard their assets but also to chase and apprehend criminals because the police are nowhere to be found.” https://t.co/sgRGIBR3xq | 2 |

| 1634058773294727170 | JONNY STEINBERG: Ramaphosa’s turn to cynicism is alarming. The way Ramaphosa described the criminal justice system last week when he berated André de Ruyter for his now infamous interview on eNCA is upsetting in the extreme. https://t.co/HoNxRk8vaT via @BusinessLiveSA | 2 |

| 1632434781752311808 | If Angie Motshekga survives tomorrow's reshuffle, I give up. It's enough that Gauteng is now subjected to the witless excesses of her former entourage. Our children deserve better. #cabinetreshuffle | 21 |
| 1626095528323735552 | “Most other people in a job like mine would have a therapist. I have a toxicologist,” says outgoing Eskom CEO André de Ruyter. @robrose_za had a candid interview with De Ruyter. A must read on what the incoming Eskom CEO has to face. @FinancialMail https://t.co/3aRIhlPAfU via | 17 |
