Energy Energy Headlines News

It’s the most far-reaching reform of SA’s energy sector in decades, but critics fear it’ll be another plan to gather dust.

It’s only about four years too late but President Cyril Ramaphosa has finally announced something resembling a lucid plan to deal with SA’s power crisis.

“SA is desperately in need of reliable energy provision and the recent address from the president is welcomed,” Futuregrowth director Jason Lightfoot tells the FM. “However, we remain cautious around the implementation of the proposed changes. Execution hasn’t always been a strong characteristic of the current regime.”

Swift and decisive action, after all, is precisely what has been lacking since Ramaphosa became president in 2018, not to mention since he was made the head of Eskom’s “war room” in 2015.
