Civilized way or uncivilized way (aka barbaric way) What's wrong or difficult with just saying I'm not interested or I'm not gay? Instead of resorting to violence or being stupid. No girl beats you up when you propose her even when you're ugly. Gay people are also just looking for partners. Proposing you doesn't mean you look gay. |

No loadshedding (scheduled power cuts) for 2 months now. Less than a year after he was appointed the head of Eskom’s generation division, Bheki Nxumalo has achieved what many experts thought impossible — improving the state of the power utility’s ageing coal fleet and delivering a lasting break in load-shedding. Nxumalo’s appointment as the national power supplier, Eskom, group executive for generation was announced on 14 April 2023. He had extensive experience in operations, power station management, and production. Nxumalo’s career in the energy sector started over two decades ago, and he has been working at Eskom since 2010. Before taking on his latest role, he was Eskom Enterprise and Eskom Rotek Industries CEO. He also served as station manager at two power plants, and was general manager at newly built 4,800MW Kusile power station. At his appointment as head of generation, Nxumalo said he was honoured to take up the position at a critical time. “I literally grew up in Eskom. I strongly believe that Eskom has the technical and managerial capability to turn things around,” Nxumalo said. “The majority of Eskom employees are ionate about their work and company. I know that I can count on the of my colleagues in Exco and the new Eskom board to make this a reality.” Under Nxumalo’s leadership, Eskom has not implemented load-shedding in nearly two months — the longest break since August and September 2021. The power utility has received some help from a reduction in overall and peak electricity demand in early 2024 compared to previous years. This decline has been driven by increased private rooftop solar generation among households and businesses. However, according to Eskom’s recent system status outlooks, its coal fleet’s energy availability factor (EAF) has also improved significantly. The EAF shows the portion of Eskom’s total nominal capacity available to provide power over a certain period. Another indication that things have taken a turn for the better is the unplanned outage factor dropping to around 25% in recent weeks, where it was well over 35% at the same time last year. EE Business Intelligence head and energy expert Chris Yelland labelled the turnaround “remarkable”. He expected load-shedding in 2024 to be roughly the same as in 2023, but so far, it has been substantially less severe. Eskom and electricity minister Kgosienthso Ramokgopa has credited the improvement to the implementation of Eskom’s Generation Recovery Plan, developed by the utility’s board. Board chair Mtetho Nyati said having a comprehensive maintenance plan was essential, but that any plan was only as good as its execution. “You can have a plan, but if you do not implement it, then it is useless. That is a big problem in South Africa. We dream, but we can never execute.” He said that changes to Eskom’s management team, particularly Nxumalo’s appointment, transformed the company. Since his appointment, Nxumalo has reviewed Eskom’s plant managers and other senior employees at its power stations. This has resulted in extensive changes to the leadership at some of the utility’s worst-performing power stations. Nyati said the new board spoke to power station managers and listened to them, allowing them to discover the systemic issues affecting the business. They learned that six power stations contributed to 70% of Eskom’s unit failures, while five power stations were performing well. Armed with this knowledge, the management team devised a plan to maintain the good performance while rapidly improving the six plants whose performance was below par. Eskom focused its planned maintenance schedule on improving these plants rather than five that were performing quite well. The utility has also enlisted the services of original equipment manufacturers to ensure that the maintenance work has a long-lasting impact. As a result of these changes, Eskom has conducted more maintenance in the last year than in the previous three. “This is why Eskom is where it is now,” he said. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I'll share my own experience - I encountered 2 Zimbabwean brothers. There was a clear difference in size. Nature then dictated I gravitated more towards the one who packed more. Sadly, the less endowed one loved me more😢. Story of my life - the sidekicks are always the ones obsessed with me.

MrCork: If you were confident in your heterosexuality and height (as a retarded dwarf mountain goat that you are) you would have pleasantly moved along to a brainless thread about v-jjs instead of obsessing about my gay thread. No drug traffic in the dark alley you're dealing at tonight? some time by engaging in some alley pooping as per your Nigerian culture you dumb rhino poo. |

You obviously learnt the bonking that happens in parliament from watching them. On a serious note though, have you eaten today?
