Ramaphosa made the announcement to appoint a Minister of Electricity to the Presidency during his State of the Nation Address on Thursday night. He says the minister will work with the Eskom leadership on helping to end power cuts. Ramaphosa also declared a National State of Disaster as the country continues to struggle with rolling blackouts.
Gungubele explains: “The complex of energy in SA is quite huge. So, in as far as, the electricity crisis is concerned, that minister is going to be the final authority and have the final say. It is not about overruling ministers, it is about executing the task of the President and it is only the President who can say no to this.
You failed to agree to the public servants demands who were asking for only 10% increment. You're endorsing a nonsensical motion to appoint a minister of electricity whereas you can't hold mineral and energy ministry accountable. You're failing this country
Where getting a electricity minister quiet simply caz u can't get a ceo, nobody wants the job,nobody wants to work for a company riddled with problems,a captured soe,a electricity minister,another cadre is utterly useless,when is the cost of diesel coming down for the generators?
CyrilRamaphosa is the greatest fraud in South African politics. He was 'Minister of Electricity' from 2016 - 2018 & delivered nothing. He came into govt guns blazing about a bloated cabinet yet he is busy adding useless ministries and retaining deadwood
