After the meeting with El-Sisi, Ramaphosa decided not to stay in Egypt and continue to Aswan as was planned. He was meant to participate in the inaugural session of the Aswan forum for sustainable peace and development. The forum is being held under the theme “An agenda for sustainable peace, security and development”.
The forum is expected to host African and world leaders, policy makers, regional and international business people, members of civil society and academics to exchange views on challenges to peace, security and development as well as opportunities.Late on Monday, Ramaphosa said he received an update on the situation leading to stage 6 load-shedding across the country.
“The president has been in constant communication with the minister of public enterprises and the leadership of the electricity utility on the state of the national grid and on the work being done to address the current crisis,” the presidency said.
People are playing us here. The President went to Egypt knowing fully well that there is a crisis in the country, now he cut the trip short to deal with the problem. Does it make sense?
