I have to congratulate the ANC with the appointment of
Andre de Ruyter as Eskom CEO. Not because I think he can actually rescue Eskom
out of its troubles, but because he is white and I think Afrikaans. You see,
having appointed Andre sends a clear message that the ANC is prepared to look
past skin color and try and do the right thing - for all South Africans.
Andre
could actually be pink and I wouldn't give a hoot as long as he can assist in
stabilising Eskom - as it will have a disastrous impact on ALL South
Africans if the state-owned enterprise sinks like the titanic.
Politicians in South Africa are so easy to play the race
card, but we as normal South Africans are so tired hearing race talk. I would
LOVE to know what percentage of the population would just like to work together
and "get on with it".
Hopefully Andre is given the freedom to "get on with
it".
Thanks
C. Raubenheimer
