President Cyril Ramaphosa delivers remarks at the official Opening of the Sandvik Khomanani Facility in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni.President Cyril Ramaphosa delivers remarks at the official Opening of the Sandvik Khomanani Facility in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni.Reports say some major announcements related to the crisis are expected to be made in the Cabinet meeting which Ramaphosa will chair on Wednesday.It may reduce the rolling blackouts to stage four by Thursday.
Ramaphosa has returned home after cutting short his international trip amid South Africa’s unresolved electricity problems. Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says, “We can do things quicker than we are doing now and that’s what the President has been demanding and continues to demand from his team. And that’s the reason behind the Energy Crisis Committee, to ensure that those things happen.”
He says, “Another unfortunate thing is that two power stations that we built had design flaws and have not been able to have all the units from Kusile and Medupi to be able to add power to the grid. Once those issues are resolved, we should see some stability in the grid.”
The previous regime gets all the blame, yet the new SA are in controle looting the state's funds. Parlements channel are always busy with looting affairs, pay back the money... Look who is the most wealthy lately. State capture, own pockets... less educated and BEE implementation
I am shocked by Cyril's response with regards to this electricity crisis for the past 15 yrs.
Someone please tell CyrilRamaphosa is not funny anymore
about time Cyril
Good luck with what you want, Mr Predident, because it is not what you fellow South Africans will receive.
Can we cancel our subscription to SARS I am the government is really nor giving me what I am paying for.
So do we...
COME VOTING we are the one's putting such personalities back to do the very unsound practices BECAUSE of empty promises. Four major promises since Mbeki and everyone that we are voting for sings the very song one of it is jobs etc who gets houses in CBS'S outsiders etc. Go rent
When the ANC is no longer in power, everything in South Africa will flourish.

This president must move in this position his gonna kills us nothing is right in this country if we don't vote him out we will be in serious crisis than this ones .....
Same old song VoetsekAnc
Step down, sort out the corruption including your own. Allow private sector to step in..... you can't, as then you have no way of plundering any further. Sad state of affairs we find ourselves in. I'm guessing it's colonialism or apartheid's fault
From who?
He should fire the whole board at Escom(Ek's Dom!!),plus himself,'cause he allowed the corruption there!!!😠😬
Get rid of all the cadres and start hiring a skilled and competant workforce
Stop stealing from the people. Great start
The truth of the matter is...we have been failed all round, dismally by this corrupt government and we have no solutions. Whoever comes to power will not solve our issues as its one too many
CyrilRamaphosa scrap all red tape for IPP’s. Let people buy electricity from other suppliers. Stop making Eskom_SA a monopoly.
Give the country to gift of the givers
Dont think the CEO is the right person for the job. Thats the starting point. Eskom needs someone who understands the task at hand. Maybe JacobMaroga needs to come back!!!!
We do have a Solution...
Investigate the tender of maintainance service providers. For as long as I can recall..maintainance has been done for years but the generators keep on failing. How ?
What urgent solution does Cyril Ramaphosa wants. He failed the nation long time ago. He promised to solve the problem of eskom in 2015 up to now nothing has changed.
And Where is all the money that was invested in Eskom? All those billions? That money was supposed to be used to improve the grid, build new Power plants, repair and upgrade the existing ones. But NOW you Mr president, NOW you want solutions?
In 2008 when LS started they said it will last 5yrs. Look at who was in charge then cause thats the person who failed in their job description in maintaining eskom
This isnt rocket science. Get rid of the corrupt anc, and all our problems are gone.
After 15 years and all the money that's been put into our energy crisis only for it to have worsened it's plain to see that the anc has no intention to solve the problem.
Just yesterday electricity blasted my tv. It came back for 5 minutes and boom gone again. After ten minutes it comes back my tv is no longer working. Where do I get another as an unemployed dude Zumaadminwasbetter
Cyril wants to implement Agenda2030 and make money off his green deals at the same time. He doesn't care about South Africans. If he did, he would stop dictating to Eskom to go green, and would allow them to add base load capacity and stabilize the grid. Cyril is corrupt.
He should have declared electricity crises a state of Disaster and channel most of the resources there. This man has no plan at all. He must leave the office, unfortunately no politician can come to our rescue, politics failed our country.
I’m gradually making more earnings now in my trades but with the aid of a trader that was recommended and now I'm recommending her to y'all EliDonovan01
South Africa must build more power stations that will solve all the problems
I will help out. Get me in touch with the right people and I will share what I know and have. Let's get loadshedding a thing of the past.
Hibo .....Stop the stealing ....employ people with qualifications.
This guy has been asking for solutions for the longest of time and his given those solutions but doesn't act on them
What is wrong with these people, you want urgent solutions from who?
Can't you wake up like really can't you see that the whites wanna take over yet you ANC Leadership want money in the name of greed soon this whites will take over. Nelson won't wake up in the grave to save you hey then you will die like June 16 lol my fellowship of RSA Vukani.
You want a solution? The solution is end all corruption end the ANC and hand it over to the DA
These loadsheddings are a tactics to get us back to the offices. He thinks he's leading a stupid population lo, ngekhala elimnyama
Mxm
Everyday I wonder, will South Africans have a conscience to vote for the opposition come 2024 , or are the voters going to be won over by t-shirts again? also.... how can we get the 55% of our population to vote in 2024? I dream of a South Africa where the ANC doesn't exist.
Stop loadshedding,shutdowns occur when switch off/on.Average person knows a huge surge in blows things up. Decrease hefty CEO salaries, fix/ maintain the power plants. Stop sabotaging for self gain.Its the world's agenda to take from us in return for an energy favour.
Easy. Sack the ANC ministers in charge, and remove all useless cadres from Eskom management
Mxim
Clean energy would be great for us and our health lol
It all starts with management my boy ... anything the anc touch becomes toxic and contaminated juststepdown allofyou anc eskom thuglife
that agent solution will be public private partnership where government will own less than 50% of Eskom shares .
We all want that president... yet you're the only one that can implement it.
They had many years to fix the issue and the reason they haven't yet is that these problems don't affect the rich politicians like it does us.
Hawu I thought they said he cancelled his trip to come back and solve the problems kanti naye akana solutions he wants solutions this man continue to waste our resources, money and time eish
Mass deportation is another solution for Eskom
Did you ask him where is the special investigators looking into this?.
Hire Engineers boosted with economists.
Are we really in crisis or Eskom Just want us to think we are?
This ppl are trying to rule the world forgeting that this world belongs to God
We never had loadshedding until our former president thabo mbeki if u remember 2008 when he had helped zimbabwe with energy after that we had black out leftright and center that when loadshedding started all along we were fine then later they had other sub stations closed
He came all the way from UK, cancelled his US UN trip to come home and “want” urgent solutions🙌🏾 i am not able to can!
This government has failed dismally
And dont eva bring covid to close down ur down falls we wont fall for that how can we have loadshedding durring ds season we not overoading anything its not winter for got sake we need to knw the truth cos ds is a conspiracy petrol price food price insurance premiums y
Yoo,this man always want,need,must, should.The man with many words and promises,but no action.
He's too late. We're five steps ahead of him.
RICH COMING FROM RAMAPHOSA WHO HAS BEEN OVERSEEING ESKOM SINCE 2014. THE WORST AND MOST USELESS PRESIDENT THAT SOUTH AFRICA HAS EVER HAD.
This clown and his cronies must go chill somewhere and allow Matshela Koko and Brian Molefe to come back, otherwise they are just farting. There's nothing new in what he is saying!
🗞️ aikhona
Hayi bo this has been going on for years and we looked up to him and his advisors as he promised solutions.. now he sounds shocked. Dishonesty. Lies indeed have short legs
We don't have electricity here vosloorus
He wants it from whom?
They are the government, the solution is supposed to be from them, why lamenting instead of solving the crisis, it has been such a long time, but they still grappling for solutions.
De javu....It was in 2015 when he said the same thing .but guess what, we are still here.
Guy is not interested in the job he's doing. Wasn't he given task of coming up with solutions 7 yrs ago? Was his so called grand plan that he announced not so long ago not solutions 2 this problem? Was the appointment of incompetent De Ryter not supposed 2 hv brought solutions?
He wants urgent solutions from who? Firstly the shareholder of Eskom is the minister of public enterprise (Pravin) and he sit with him in the cabinet meetings, as the head of the minister can summon him to check progress without this public stunts also can engage the board
Cyril please can you also urgently do something about the raw sewage pumping into durbans rivers and ocean!!!
Which solutions, please. Is he not the one who must come with an emergency plan? AMEN.
Get rid of the ANC
Well then he should get off his fat ass and do something about it. He has the power but not the will 🤡
From whom?
Can you please just resign for the good of the country cz uthanda abo ngamla ukudlula iZwe lethu🚮
We don’t care. 2024, where you at?
Urgent what Who's fooling who!!!!
Gayton Mckenzie said his willing to work with you Mr. President, just agree on his terms declare state of energy emergency, cut out all red tape and get to work immediately...
🤡.
SA needs ENERGY!
For me it's about the journalists who type and pronounce these type of headlines. Loadshedding
Go home phala phala
Mxm..
Step down perhaps?
