The Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says he will focus on reducing the frequency and intensity of rolling blackouts.

He has warned that failure to urgently address the country’s electricity crisis will have catastrophic consequences.He says, “Must have [a person with] laser focus, someone who will eat [and] breathes this problem, with no other competing tasks on this person’s diary. It’s an extraordinary event, [it] has catastrophic consequences if we don’t address it.”

Ramokgopa says he intends on working directly with power plant managers to help resolve technical energy issues. He will also work with Eskom and other stakeholders on the urgent implementation of the Energy Action Plan.

Like all before him - I hope he doesn't stutter before he is forced to eat these words - Eskom is in a shambolic state, according to many reports, so his task is certainly not going to be easy. Rather like some said 'putting bristles back onto a toothbrush'

Rama is useless himself - so he hires useless . Zuma was a thief so he hired thieves .

So loadshedding will never end

HOW? CAN HE GENERATE ELECTRICITY. AG PLEASE WE ARE TIRED OF THESE CRIMINALS

Yip.. he said.. but without a plan.. can’t make this up. 🤡

And he will focus on helping anc to steal billions more

Yeah RIGHT.....

PE is currently in the dark and no one knows why

Same movie, different actor. The movie with de Ruyter was closer to the truth.

The criminal mafia at Eskom won't allow that.

But why not focus on ending loadshedding?

Now?

Why would anyone do well in a job which renders him jobless if he solves all the problems?

Will Ramokgopa truly stop loadshedding? And afterwards what will he do?

It's immaterial

He starts telling lies on his first day not bad. Nazi sympathizers

Less talking more doing. Dala what you must !

Hierdie is 'n perd van 'n ander kleur!

This MYANC clown won't make a dent in reducing loadshedding... The only thing that will continue is the feeding at the trough by the MYANC crooks ✊

it seems that these people think they are doing us a favor by reducing load shedding. baba we pay for electricity.🤦🤦

Your Job is to end loadshadding not to reduce that’s what we are paying you to do END not REDUCE

Such a shame.

'Reducing' ....?

After listening to his interview m, I have renewed hope!!

He will do no such thing, for the point is to cause despair. There's no solution that can come from a govt that caused the calamity in the 1st place. The ANC led govt doesn't solve problems, its mandate is to create them, hence the state of SA, let alone Eskom.

Please don’t focus on the symptoms… we need a cure not a band-aid. You cannot fix neglected infrastructure without shutting off generation - you can’t change a flat tyre while driving at 120km/h.

No. Reduce it altogether!

While we are fully focusing on vote Shedding the useless ANC in 2024

As I'm watching this I had no electricity for 3 days

How?

In other words, nothing will change.

Ok

Reduce not stop aoowa!

Heard that before

Stage 10 in winter watch the space

He himself said his job is to ensure that people eat...

I believe this is the guy. The media will definitely be on the offensive. But this is the guy we need.

So he want us to believe what he says, he was a minister in presidency, why he didn't suggest that while he was still there ❓ these people are playing politics.

We don’t have electricity problems! We have ANC Mafia problems!

So basically it's not gonna end...

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣

That way !! it will allow me to align my corrupt partners going forword and ensure we steal as much money over the longest term possible.

When? Instead appointing learned engineers at Eskom plants there appointing politicians what nonsense is this

Start by disconnecting all the illegal connections and cut power to all the none paying people....oh sorry....they are all YOUR PEOPLE so you wont because then they wont vote for you again.....

Yeah, his job🤨

Lol very difficult to blv dis man ,I don't see him challenging Mr Pravin

My question is, since we have electricity minister, does eskom still need a CEO?

So what is he going to do different..? Still no answer on that.... We all know what should be done, but no details on how it will be achieved. Until then it is just noise.....

And how is he planning to address the real problem? Is he going to persuade his baddies to close the criminal cartels shops and make the sabotage and corruption go away... really? What does CyrilRamaphosa take us for by installing this man? He’s insulting our intelligence...

But his not working for askom or is he? Promises promises

So no one is doing that? Shame ai

Good luck with that. 🥴🙄

The only way to reduce rolling blackouts is to build 10 000 MW of additional capacity. You only use diesel power generators when your steam turbines are offline for maintenance. Until then loadshedding is part of our daily lives

He must do his work and shut the hell up we need action not words

By spreading the eating no doubt...

He is too vocal without any action,he is minister of Twitter since his appointment all he does is to tweet

How about pay based on performance? R10k per stage payable.

Please come back to us once you have done it, sikhathele ukuzwa ukuthi nizokwenzani ngoba anikwenzi

The biggest BS.

Duh! That's like his only job - make sure there's electricity for all, all the time.

Profound. We are blessed to have a saviour in our midst.

The blackout chief, kgosientsho

If he had solutions, he would be deployed to eskom as ceo, but now he makes lot of noise for nothing

I fucking doubt it. All he's doing is tweeting new profile pics.

Pointless appointment on an already stacked cabinet filled with dead weight

Sisekakeni bahlali it's worse than before!!!
