The make-up of the new national working committee is proof ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa is firmly in charge of the ruling party following his first term. File photo.President Cyril Ramaphosa has given the strongest indication yet that government is likely to declare a state of disaster on South Africa's energy crisis.
Summarising the discussions of the past two days, Ramaphosa said there was a clear direction from the lekgotla that government has to resolve the load-shedding crisis in a much shorter time than what has been projected.“There was talk about declaration of a national state of disaster like what we did when we faced Covid-19 and there is broad agreement we should move in that direction,” he said.
He said the matter would receive urgent attention in government processes and would also be discussed thoroughly at the government lekgotla in the next few days.Ramaphosa said a national state of disaster was necessary to give the state instruments to address the challenge. The lekgotla agreed that co-ordination of the government’s response be escalated to the most senior levels and be clearly communicated.
When you crash your car on purpose into a brick wall and then search for a reason to claim insurance.
Declaring it a disaster merely states what has been obvious for the last number of years to the general population.
Rather declare the ANC as a state of disaster!!
He did not handle covid well at all,seems like another power trip and control of an 'elite' few is underway again so they can do as they please with nobody to stop or question their ridiculous tactics.
Ramaphosa ke disaster.
anc rule has been a disaster for the last 10 years
They think by talking and not doing everything will work out.
Does that mean another cigarette ban and no fried chicken? Transformation and inclusivity seem to clash? Would it be better to be first world or developmental?! Do FIX Eishkom!!! 17% power generation and failure to renew nuclear energy? News gets worser and worser?!!
There is no war. So he can't declare state of disaster or emergency on his failed leadership. The simple way is to resign.
In 2015 he was given a task to look out at Eskom he then went there to create War Room not to fix 2018 February he fired people who worked hard to stop load shedding for 3 yrs now Mzansi is poor with electricity bcos of Ramaphosa
GOVERN. MUST NOT DECLARE STATE OF DISASTER ONLY! GOVERN. MUST INCLUDE ITSELF IN N FAST SOLUTION IS ALSO ASK LOOTERS CHARGE TO COME UNTANGLE THEIR MESS BY HELPING TO SORT/SOLVE ENERGY MESS THAN ENDLESS COURT CASES/ MUD SLINGINGS THAT WE MADE A MESS LETS COME TOGETHER TO SORT MESS.
