President Cyril Ramaphosa has used his Heritage Day speech at the Union Buildings in Pretoria to call for patience in the midst of the country’s energy crisis.

President Cyril Ramaphosa keynote address at the Heritage Day celebration at the Union Building.

He says that while the recent loadshedding has caused havoc in the country, a solution is being worked on.The country is currently on stage 4 of rolling blackouts, and has been alternating between stages 5 and 6, since last weekend. Stage 3 is expected to be implemented from 5 am tomorrow morning and is expected to last into the week.

Ramaphosa says an announcement will soon be made on various measures that are being put in place to address loadshedding. He adds, “Now we’re going through the throes of an energy crisis, in the recent two weeks we’ve been seeing rising loadshedding completely disrupting our lives, our economy, and causing havoc from a social point of view, health point of view. Even as we face these challenges, as South Africans, as we have done in the past, we have persevered, and I ask once again, let us persevere, the challenge is being addressed.

We're sick and tired of being patient do something, we didn't vote for this

The time for patience is over. We want action baba.

Because you do not think that near 20 years of load shedding does not demonstrate patience. Shame on you Mr. Président.

Please resolve the issue sir we loosing cash flow

Create a crisis for the people to accept anything as a solution, what is happening is aimed at privatizing Eskom.

For how long CyrilRamaphosa should the nation be patient when things are getting worse. What is the plan? We know current management did not cause loadshedding but are they fixing the problem or lost at sea? Currently it seems the latter.

Are you serious, patient how pathetic Ramaphala... You are testing coming here and talking your beste megawatts kak hieso

CyrilRamaphosa always telling us to be patient!!! His has had 15 years to sort this out!!! He is tone deaf to what we go through because him & cabinet of clowns don’t get loadshedding!! VoetsekANC

SouthAfricansP1 South Africa is already in its death throes and Cyril is calling for perseverance. A man who has not experienced blackouts cos he snd MPs don’t get cut off but hospitals do if you can believe that. He’s never had to throw out a freezer full of food. We are dying and he cares niks

Does he remember this?

We have been patient since 2015 as he promised. Nothing to show for it.

Whilst he is exempt of loadshedding..... Our leaders literally think NOTHING of us...

Cyril can resign..... its time for us to go occupy Union Buildings,Megawatt Park and Parliament..... we had enough now,time is near to take to the streets,2024 is too far

We have been patient since the ANC came in 26 years ago and f&cked everything up like they always do useless bunch no more patience fix your f&cking mess…..

Patience my foot

We've been patient for many years, waiting for good governance and reliable electricity. What's his next suggestion, since patience didn't work?

He sounds like someone who’s really in charge.

We can't be patient while eskom is abusing us under government of ANC

We in the 21st century, and u keep the incompetent useless ministers n fork up our country n life, n then ask us 2 b patient, u seriously need 2 undergo observation I think

Patience for him to keep on being useless 🙄

You have no shame... Disrespecting our people by shaking only a white man's hand 😷😷😷😷😷🚮😓😰🦧

He was addressing 20 people

This time you are on your own,enough is enough with your excuses,we are losing our houses,cars even our partners are complaining when we can't provide for our families unlike you and your colleagues who are immune to all these sufferings

Cyril....go onto Comedy Central stage....because you are the joke of this country. And his cabinet of politicians is like an ..old age reunion party...in parliament

Jara stalling !

The most useless president we have ever had. What a shame of a man.

No use calling Patience, perhaps he should also call Promise! 😂

Patience my arse....u been in charge of eskom at least past 10yrs & achieved vokol...like rest of yr presidency....bring on 2023 change

As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Catherine_nico I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Catherine_nico

Patience to tolerate his dismal failures. He is the real crisis of this country, he must just step aside as president and with his Glencoe from Eskom together with his useless CEO of Eskom and Pravin Gordan and all our problems will be solved.

Circus 🤡

To be patient 10, 20 years more?! What a joke 😡

To lie

I appreciate you so much for educating me on how to invest successful,I earn alot through the platform recommended,kindly contact RayMartell0 and be part of the winning committee

But thieves are not patience with harassing us using this blackouts nje 🤷‍♂️

He is useless, he is a clown 🤡

We have run out of patience 😡😡

People's businesses are going under. Does he know this?

And PhalaPhalaFarmGate yona?

The worst president South Africa have ever had
