Business has called on government to ensure that there’s energy security in the country to prevent small companies from collapsing. It made the call during African National Congress President Cyril Ramaphosa’sAt the engagement, the Black Business Council called for the improvement of energy availability at coal-fired power stations.

Mofokeng elaborates, “When I listen to minister Mantashe, we have to fix the assets that we have. We have power stations that need to be fixed and that will give us the energy that we need. Our economy is under-performing because of a lack of energy. If you are running a small business you can’t afford to close for 4 – 6 hours. We must fix the energy crisis and renewables won’t be able to fix the problem of base load.

However, immediately after these partners registered their concerns, the president went back to them and consulted widely. “When I decided that we should have a minister of electricity, I hadn’t even briefed my colleagues in the ANC. Some of them said, I heard the president has taken a decision on his own. Some of you say I consult too much and don’t take a decision. I said that is your problem. Sometimes I will consult and sometimes I won’t consult. You better get used to it. That’s how I’m rolling now,” says Ramaphosa.
