Presidential Spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says President Cyril Ramaphosa deeply regrets the national energy crisis that has plunged the country into Stage6 rolling blackouts. loadshedding Eskom

President Cyril Ramaphosa deeply regrets thePresidential Spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says Ramaphosa acknowledges the frustration of citizens and the adverse impact of load shedding on small businesses and the economy.

Magwenya says the President, while acknowledging some progress made in implementing aspects of the National Energy Plan by government, is demanding greater energy and speed in implementation. “The Presidency has been briefed regularly on the situation at Eskom. He has had several engagements with Minister Pravin Gordhan there will be meetings later on today – NATJOINTS meetings and over the next day. So there may well be meetings of the National Energy Crisis Committee as I indicated to look at urgent matters that can be taken and to give more direction to the implementation of the national energy plan.

On Thursday Nersa gave permission for Eskom to increase tariffs by 18.65%, this means a consumer buying R1000 worth of electricity directly from Eskom will pay an extra R186.“Based on Eskom’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 , Eskom’s average revenue per kilowatt hour was already R1-Rand- 71 cents, and in the current financial year is already at 1-Rand- 86 cents a kilowatt/ hour.

Vincent...the energy experts are already talking stage 8....are they being alarmist or is it true

No amount of regret will sort out the problem.

Thoughts and prayers.

... But it's part of the WEF2030 plan and if he didn't do it he wouldn't be welcomed in Davos when he meets with KlausSchwab the WEF leader that is calling the shots! Another WEFpuppet

The anc is the greatest threat this country has faced in history if we don't wake up now

Germany has given money to close coal power stations & transition to renewables. Germany's renewables projects have failed & they are now using South African coal to keep their lights on while SAns are suffering the worst Loadshedding in the history of SA. Make it make sense!

He regrets it for really but increasing electricity tariffs. Thank Mr President.

Is it this guy? New dawn of darkness. So under the wasted 9 years when he was DP they managed to stop loadshedding. Now he is the President it's back to loadshedding and yet we are told he is the best 🤔

CyrilRamaphosa GovernmentZA the hatred for the law abiding citizens by the black politician heathens is evident. Tax payers pay their dues, people pay their electricity bills and yet townships are for free, and we fund the corruption, incompetence and mismanagement of eskom

When is he going to do something about it and stop regretting?Vincentmagwenya CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA . We are out of business and this is taking its toll on our health. Get competent people who will be able to run Eskom Loadshedding
