South Africa needs 'a single point of command' on the electricity crisis, President Cyril Ramaphosa says.

For the past five years, Ramaphosa has been where every buck stops, but for years before that, he was Jacob Zuma's delegated Eskom saviour, setting up war rooms and commanding structural changes to the electricity system.

"In a time of crisis, we need a single point of command and a single line of march," Ramaphosa said in his State of the Nation Address, in what was likely intended as a continuation of his recent message on load shedding: everyone needs to pull together to solve a problem that the government manufactured.

At the time, and in subsequent defence against legal challenges from furious citizens, she justified such sweeping measures on the basis that the coronavirus could have killed many more people but for those steps. During the Covid-19 state of disaster, the courts proved both slow and generally loathe to intervene.
