President Cyril Ramaphosa speaking at a media briefing.over the country’s electricity crisis.
The president has been criticised by the Democratic Alliance for the move saying it will test the matter in court.During his State of the Nation Address last night, Ramaphosa said a national State of Disaster and the appointment of a minister of electricity would ensure that urgent work is done to end load shedding.
Addressing the media a short while ago in Cape Town, the president gave his assurance that there would be no looting of funds meant to deal with the crisis. “Their criticism is misguided. We’re seeking to address the electricity crisis and it’s quite interesting that they called for a State of Disaster and now that we’ve declared it, they’re opposed to it, for a very strange reason that there’s going to be looting.
But how long is this National state of disaster is going to last and how how much will be spend by that time. We still going to have a short time solution but spend billions of rands
