Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe says newly appointed Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa is"capable" of the task.
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday night announced Ramokgopa's appointment to focus on resolving the energy crisis. The Turkish company was named a preferred bidder in the Risk Mitigation IPP Procurement Programme . It was to supply 1 220MW of energy out of the 2 000MW to be procured through the programme.
Mantashe said that against the cost of load shedding, the two are hardly comparable. He said South Africa adopted a"holier than thou" attitude to Karpowerships when they have been relied on for power in countries such as Ghana, Gabon, Ivory Coast and Brazil.Earlier at the conference Mantashe's address was disrupted by a peaceful protest by six members of Greenpeace Africa.
