JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa will hold a series of emergency meetings this week in a bid to resolve the country's worsening energy crisis, his office said.
Ramaphosa cancelled his trip to Switzerland, where he was meant to lead the South African delegation to the World Economic Forum summit, to urgently attend to the crisis back home.He was also expected to meet with leaders of political parties represented in Parliament.South Africans have been battling with uninterrupted power cuts for weeks, with many being left without electricity for at least six hours a day, after indefinite stage 6 load shedding was implemented on 11 January.
The last time the president cancelled an international working trip was in September last year, when he was scheduled to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
🤣
All talk and no action
Meeting with the same bunch of incompetent ministers that are expected to achieve a better result.Led by the coal magnate GwedeMantashe1

Time for meetings over. Time to resign with your entire cabinet! A multiparty interim government should be installed to take over this mess!

Mxm....u guys,still take this fart serious?😂😂😂😂😂
If only your endless meetings and hot air could generate our electricity!
He likes meetings this one, at some point he tried to bribe us with fake tears on a national TV after chowing the COVID money together with his comrades
Reactionary instead of prevention/maintenance. The ANC way.
... the advice & influence from INDEPENDENT POWER PROFITEERS is guaranteed to enable the SUPERCHARGING of INEQUALITY in South Africa
... What a GREAT IDEA this USELESS anc has ...at least we know that the decisions that will come from that, is guaranteed to do ONE THING... F-THE SA PEOPLE EVEN MORE, and ENRICH the SELECT FEW CAPITALISTS POWER PROVIDER PROFITEERS EVEN MORE
Lets get Elec. CLUELESS CyrilRamaphosa, Elec. CLUELESS Eskom managemnt, & Independent Elec CAPITALIST PROFITEERS around table to decide what to do... lets EXCLUDE ex-Eskom Elec engineers, esp the experienced, that use to run Eskom with enough power for SA & neighboring countries
Hy is n fom sleg etter. VoetsekANC voetsekcyril
Meeting for what?
Tsek!
CyrilRamaphosa will achieve ZERO. Do nothing as usual, fall asleep and give another empty promise. Is what he does best!
As if that will change anything
The meeting supposed to be immediately.
CyrilRamaphosa SO YOU'VE NOTICED OR DID SOMEONE WHISPER THE NEWS IN YOUR EAR? WAKE UP, UNCLE!
What has he been doing the entire time?
Emergency meetings or cancelled trips or task teams are his stunts. The man specialise in grandstanding. Nothing gets done beyond appointing these teams. Clown of note
The dictionary definition of emergency and ANC definition are not the same. They are blackouts apart. MSM is also not helping the citizens but will defend CR17.
Only now? Wow, you are a bad liar. Any other bright plans under your mattress?
What else is new
He must resign
CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA MYANC Is this a joke or what
VoetsekANC
We are still protesting
****him!
It’s not an emergency meeting if it’s scheduled, emergency means now not sometime during the week
But he told them last week to fix it. What happened?
CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA Matamela you will pay for your lies and sins ANC_OUT !!
Same old crap. Meeting upon meeting without any action. I highly doubt that CyrilRamaphosa has any plan
So he’s going to hold an emergency meeting this week during stage 6 loadshedding, who is he going to address ?
This President issa nincompoop
Voetsek!
Mmmm - maybe you should have supported current CEO...now you get to miss out on all the WEF cookies and Johnny Blue 🤣🤣🤣
I don't understand, this is the very guý who was responsible for SOEs during 9 wasted years
Can we hear the plan please Mr President
We want those meetings to be televised we wanna hear the president's thinking behind this crises.. We want to hear what solutions he's bringing on the table. Also we want to see stakeholders holding him accountable for this mess
Meetings with the eyensee about the eyensee to discuss what the eyensee can do to protect the eyensee mafia from eyensee voters. voetsekanc
The protests have already started. While he's still meeting to discuss this people have put together whole protests. I want to see what he does now that the people have had enough.
Useless meetings🚮
I’m seeing so many South Africans with good, workable ideas to mitigate the crisis. If only the President would consult with those outside the usual official ANC circles, who thus far have spectacularly failed to produce any relief whatsoever.
Get people in. Pay them, fix it. Then get the right people to maintain it.
Saze savelelwa ama-meeting nama task team, nama advisory committee 🤡🤡🥴🥴🥴
eskomsalaryshedding over 40 000 employees and nobody can fix the problem, and now want more money, let's start salary shedding at Eskom and see how quickly they fix the problem Eskomsalaryshedding instead of punishing the people who pay their bills.
How many more emergency meetings are needed before they fix the corruption an mismanagement!
Should emergency meeting not of been held years ago?
Ah yes, he's going to urgently do nothing again.
I dont think you can call this 15 year problem an emergency. Each time we go to stage six Ramapospone pretends to humor us. That spineless twatwaffle has no clue what to do.
Can the meetings be held publicly? Eskom_SA CyrilRamaphosa
Useless like his name
We've been in this mess since 2018, is he only noticing now?
All talk, no action bullshit
Who?
'this week' does not indicate an emergency.... Now/Today/tonight would. Cyril is a sloth of a man
Please! only emergency he sees is that the lights are still on so somebody is spending money that he wants to know where his share is, and why is it being spent and not sent to his accounts
4 years too late
Maybe Cyril will switch off the Western Cape and reroute their electricity to Soweto for free? Then blame the DA! helenzille tell me that's not an ANC kind of thing?
Less meetings and more DOINGS!!!
Yaaaah neh
What happened to the 'plan' you CyrilRamaphosa layed out in Sept?
Long week ahead.. Last week and the previous 5 months weren't an emergency
Not yesterday, or last week or last month or even last year…this week…😡😡😡
How about right now.
We are so pissed off. He doesn't have a answer for the people!
14 years to late.
Maybe you should stop reporting this. Start writing ONLY when the crisis is addressed. Ramaphosa been fixing energy crisis since as Zuma deputy!!! Nothing interesting here!!!
Meetings, meetings, meetings. 😡😡😡
Why aren't people behind bars for all the corruption taking place at Eskom
Emergency meetings. Is it going to be o generate power
He ran away from being an embarrassment with other world leaders so he can hold meetings? He has been in the country all this time why didn’t he hold meetings then ?
Lmao 🤣 Ramaphosa is the man on top and doing nothing
It has been an 'emergency' since the first day of blackouts. The only 'emergency' they have now is how bad Stage 8 and above will look for him.
When are the meetings being held and when will we receive progress reports and plans of action?
🥱
Same lip service since cANCer took over ....
Mr Fix-vokkol... give me a break...
And what is that going to help?
12 hours a day or more if you unlucky…..VoetsekANC
To appoint a task team....SMH!!!!!
