South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said the energy department will take over responsibility for overseeing state utility Eskom, which has been failing to meet the nation’s power demand since 2008.
"It is a clear mandate from conference," Ramaphosa told reporters at a media event in Johannesburg on Monday. Eskom, which supplies more than 90% of South Africa’s electricity, has been at the epicenter of a national energy crisis, because its old and poorly maintained plants can’t generate adequate power to meet demand. It subjected the country to a record 205 days of rolling blackouts last year, which stymied economic growth and investment.

_Business Another story 🤮
_Business And just like that, boom stage 6.
_Business We have an energy department
_Business I refuse to listen to this criminal....if you let GwedeMantashe1 oversee Eskom we will all be even worse off!
_Business we didn't have loadshedding when Thabo mbeki was president...so Zuma is responsible because he's a failure,ramaphosa trying to be captain jack Sparrow on an already sinking ship, thinks he can stay afloat...that will never happen... the damage is too great even for the captain 🚮

_Business Cyril just promise me you’ll fire GwedeMantashe1 if he doesn’t solve the problem.
_Business Buffalo soldier, you have not paying attention to the workings of government since 2018. Gwede (Venom) Mantashe and Pravin are 2 of many Ministers in the cesspit of a cabinet that has failed. You've not put any thought into this decision nothing new.
_Business A very poor decision… will result in rapid demise of ESI under those with vested interests unless DMRE is placed under new leadership. CyrilRamaphosa
_Business So instead of firing Minister Gordhan he is taking Eskom to another department. It's going to be very easy now for him to fire Mantashe if Eskom situation doesn't change

_Business 🙆🏾♀️
_Business Whatever, so tired of your incompetence, lies and theft, we all know fokol will change
_Business I need an acupressure ring to relax after this
