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 and would 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.

Welcome back curfews and restrictions ala covid , these crooks when to dictate to us

Money will disappear

ANC is the Desaster

Shouldn’t he declare the state of disaster on the SA government first?

He seems to be the last one to realise the extent of it.....

This guy is collapsing Eskom_SA

The state is the disaster 🤡

This president is too slow to act..if not mistaken DA suggested this long ago..declare state of emergency/disaster on energy crisis crime & open boarders..SAns can we get a fast..shap & decisive president in 2024

A crisis which was always in the making thanks to the greed of the African National Circus and it's cadres. The power utility went from international hero to zero thanks to their lack of or incompetence to govern the country properly. Load shedding has become their Waterloo

The da sent a letter to cr which requested that a state of emergency be declared which he ignored. Now they have had a meeting and had a brilliant idea. Declare a state of emergency!!!!!

How will this help Eishkom

But he will blame apartheid 😅this clown

Can he declare a state of disaster on security, and put all the police out on the streets….keeping citizens safe

CyrilRamaphosa GwedeMantashe1 Yes you clowns create the disaster. As Deputy President that create fruitless war rooms and achieved DIDDLEY SQUAT. Hamba !

Declare the State a disaster please, that's all that will help 😆😊

Have we stopped supplying the counties that SA is currently supplying 😅🤣😅 This man has got no plans for energy crisis

Why he is taking too much time on his plan to sell Eskom. Is he waiting for people to die of hunger before he can take Eskom to his cabals

What will that help

Without state of disaster they cannot loot funds

He is very slow this one.

That’s just means… government is going to throw money at a problem that’s not going to go away…

Die anc is in beheer. Van hulle eie SOE. Dit is disfunksioneel. As gevolg van die anc. En n SOD is die gevolg. So wie is die Disaster? Absolute lagwekkende situasie.

I understand how that might help the tender loving cadre thieves enormously, but I have no idea how it helps Eskom's consumers 🤡

How snailnpace slow is ANC. Useless bunch.

🙉

Thy will starting deploying soldiers to keep us indoors...🤞🏽

A disaster that the ANC created
