The Ministry of Public Enterprises dismissed allegations that it unduly interfered in the appointment of the Eskom Pension Fund chairperson. The choice and appointment of the Pension Fund chairperson is entirely the responsibility of Eskom. The Sunday Independent report claiming the Minister revoked the appointment of the first black woman chairperson in favor of appointing Caroline Henry is false. Eskom ran an independent recruitment process that resulted in a shortlist from which Ms. Henry became the preferred candidate, with Ms. Mantuka Maisela not making the shortlist. The DPE and Minister simply approved Eskom's nomination and did not contribute to or veto any names. The newspaper ignored facts provided by Eskom regarding the

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

DPE DISMISSES ALLEGATIONS OF UNDUE INTERFERENCE IN ESKOM PENSION
FUND APPOINTMENT
PRETORIA 02 August 2020 – The Ministry of Public Enterprises (DPE) has noted media
reports about the recent appointment of the Eskom Pension and Provident Fund
chairperson. The choice and appointment of the Pension Fund chairperson is entirely the
responsibility of eskom. These malicious reports are based on a deliberately false narrative
of DPE “interference “ in the management of state-owned companies. The Sunday
Independent reports that Minister Pravin Gordhan “revoked the appointment of the first black
woman to be the chairperson of Eskom pension and provident fund and instead appointed
Caroline Henry to the position”.
This report is manufactured by an arrogant and destructive cabal employed to tarnish the
reputation of all those fighting against corruption and to defend malfeasance.
The allegations seek to tarnish the name of the Minister and sustain a narrative that has
been propagated over several months by specific individuals that are entangled in SOE
corruption and State Capture.
Certain publications and particular journalists have made it their life mission to discredit the
work that the Department has put into eradicating the rampant theft that had come to define
the procurement of goods and services at SOEs.
The Sunday Independent , which survives on pensioners funds, has consistently fed its
readers deliberately distorted information with regards to DPE and its oversight of SOEs.
This demonstrates a distinct pattern to aid certain political agendas and economic interests.
The Sunday Independent ignored all the facts provided to its journalists by Eskom on the
recruitment process, including the fact that the company ran the process with the help of an
external recruitment firm. The process culminated in a final shortlist, from which Ms Henry
became the preferred candidate. Ms Mantuka Maisela, according to Eskom, had not made
the shortlist.
It is therefore simply not true that the Ministry intervened or vetoed the appointment of Ms
Maisela to the position. In fact, and in line with the process, the DPE received a letter from
2. Eskom Board nominating Ms Henry as the sole candidate. This is a mere do for
consideration for appointment by the Minister.
Minister Gordhan approved the appointment of Ms Henry based on the information before
him. And at no stage of the process did the DPE or the Minister contribute, suggest, or veto
any names. The paper downplayed Eskom’s responses to its questions regarding the
situation regarding Ms Maisela’s candidature and instead chose to caricature Minister
Gordhan in line with its deliberate distortion campaign.
Before publishing, the newspaper was informed by Eskom that Ms Maisela had served on
the Fund’s board for a continuous period of 16 years, a service that far exceeds the
recommended period in terms of acceptable governance and protocols.
The DPE recognises that the Fund is an autonomous entity that must oversee the
management of Eskom workers’ retirement savings. Its trustees include worker
representatives and other stakeholders who must exercise the highest corporate governance
standards and give Eskom employees the optimal environment to save for retirement.
The DPE calls on all to provide the space to the Pension Fund Board to perform theirwork
without being concocted narratives of political interference. We are committed to a genuine
transformation agenda that seeks to reverse the wrongs of apartheid and the recent State
Capture atrocities. Competent and ethical leaders have been appointed to the Eskom Board
and leadership layer under Minister Gordhan. The Eskom executive leadership team, for
example, is broken up to 70% African, 15% coloured and 15% white. Transnet has a score
of 81% African representativity in its executive management, almost half of those being
African women.
Distortions and other nefarious agendas simply fortify our resolve to improve the
performance of these entities and simultaneously implement the Constitution’s values of a
non-racial, non-sexist South Africa.
