ICYMI President Cyril Ramaphosa says he understands the frustration of South Africans over continuing rolling blackouts around the country. Loadshedding

stage six rolling blackouts

was triggered by the loss of over 18 000 megawatts of generation capacity due to unit breakdowns and the unprotected strike by Eskom workers. President Ramaphosa says as the system recovers and generation capacity is restored, Eskom will be able to reduce load shedding to lower stages. He says the agreement reached between Eskom and labour unions will enable critical repairs and return additional units to operation.

At the same time, the President says law enforcement agencies are working hard to tackle sabotage, theft and fraud at Eskom to address the threat that these criminal actions pose to the electricity system.Speaking to

We need a resolution for townships. Illegal connection of power in those communities must sorted. People need power but its the overloading of electricity that creates this

Hi don't stress too much mi president,we are already used to it.Just leave us alone,we hv to face it because we hv voted for it🤞

What does it mean when the Eskom CEO says it will take several weeks for the power utility to fully recover from the recent strike action? 'several weeks' could be months.. people want to know when loadshedding will come to an end. DemocracyYethuSonke

WHAT is he doing about it Is his house affected

He also understands why he must step down

As soon as we visit his house like people of Sri Lanka as soon as we overcome load shading and petrol price

He understands it because he is part of the plan.

People are busy sharing sad pictures bengena gesi.....let's take action fellow South Africans, I feel like we are being tested here soze kalok!

I feel like we are too relaxed and soft in this country....all we know is speak FACTS ko Social media but dololo action....I can't believe the country is still functioning kodwa kwenzeka ubu bhanxa obunje....I feel like abantu abaphethe ilizwe abas'boni noba sizi ntoni

Stop annoying us with your naked Phalaphala Pinocchio please 🤥.

COSATU is behind this mess, they are trying to destabilise the democracy to that end and encourage lawlessness with in our society to the point that people hit the 'fuck it' button

His bosses wants Eskom at whatever cost.

He must go we don't need his understanding, dollarsundermattress PhalaPhalaFarm PhalaPhalaFarmGate

So? A young child could understand our unhappiness. Do something about it, man!

Uncle Cyril, you don't get loadshedding, so how can you understand 🤔

He is telling lies once again.

😭😭😭😭😭

The president doesn't understand shit. Let him spend a day with us at a township so we can see the woman in him. A black woman President in the a sheeps attire. Nigga is too intelligent to be acting like a Grade 7 dropout. Even Msholozi did a better job as a President.

It's good if he understood the frustration we South African are facing concerning loadsheding but it's not about it only but also about his evil wickedness defile leadership!

By understanding will it solve this problem

Admin you he is lying right?

Mr President, you clearly DO NOT UNDERSTAND the frustration. If you did, you would have been wielding a whip over those responsible to make sure the matter is resolved NOW! Stop speaking and start acting.

Board room politician

CyrilRamaphosa is a DISMAL CORRUPT FAILURE, the RSASIU and SAPoliceService must move the wheels of JUSTICE with SPEED because the society is becoming IMPATIENT!!!🤞🏽🔥🔥🔥 SriLankaProtests NationalShutdown RamaphosaMustGo

Ok. And then ?

Ramaphosa is lying....he doesn't understand our frustrations at all. If he did ngabe kudala esixoxelile about Phala Phala Farm shenanigans

What does he know about a South African’s typical day? Fear for your life walking home in the dark, fearing that your job is in jeopardy as companies are closing? He makes me 🤮.

I doubt President Cyril Ramaphosa understands our frustrations over the rolling blackouts. If he did he would have fired the incompetent Pravin Godharn, Eskom board and CEO Andre de Ruyter.

He wants to sell Eskom similarly to what he did with SAA with R51 yet South Africans are still servicing its debt today whilst in the private hands. CyrilRamaphosa just go! RamaphosaMustGo Your an absolute failure! And history will remember you for that!

If he understands he would not have fired Koko who stopped loadshedding. He knew that the utility should be collapsed in favour of his donors so that electricity is provided by IPP's PhalaPhalaFarmGate

PresidentBlahBlahBlah

We do not need an understanding, CyrilRamaphosa must resign! Such a useless folk. We must do to him what people of Sri Lanka did to their president. He is highly incompetent, he doesn't show leadership and he is an after thought. What happened to bullet trains? RamaphosaMustGo

That's all he can do, understand. Ramaphosa is a leading example of a failed state

Oh really

Briefing the media on Monday, Eskom Chief Executive Officer Andre De Ruyter said it will take several weeks for the power utility to fully recover from the recent strike action.
