South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was told to cut bureaucracy and focus on fixing the country’s energy crisis if he wants to revive Africa’s most industrialised economy.

Water, transport and port services must be “dramatically improved,” the Presidential Economic Advisory Council said in a briefing note submitted to Ramaphosa ahead of his State of The Nation address next month and seen by Bloomberg. Two additional bidding rounds for the provision of renewable energy should be held this year, it said.

“Growing the economy is the only viable strategy for getting South Africa out of its current negative situation,” according to the note. “2022 must be seen as a watershed year for our country’s electricity problems. 2022 must be an inflection point.” In addition to ordering more electricity plants, the government must ensure that the National Energy Regulator of South Africa does not stand in the way of private companies building their own facilities of as much as 100 megawatts capacity, the advisory council said.
