Disasterious

Can parliament only focus on one thing at a time. Such a shame. They can't multi task nothing. So crime for now takes a back seat. Wake up parliament and deliver what you promised the people of south Africa. We tired of your lies and nonsense

What was the minister of energy job if we will be getting a minister of lectricity what next minister of portholes

Partner with private sector to combat load shedding through stable funding to eliminate energy crisis I think enough funding should be put in place to ensure sustainable development

Hot air blown to us

Just talk. But mark my words. The LOOTERS are going to enjoy this.

We have been hearing the same promises for years now... All promise and never any delivery.

If every person or member of the ANC has a title as comrade then how do you eradicate corruption when all are equivalent?

Eskom supplies our neighbors, WestCapeHealth/ Tygerburg Hospital supplies Turkish patients, SANF supplies Africa+ ex rebels, WHO is supplying the SA people? You are dead if you reach 50. Your local Gov. Hospital are going to tell you,you are to old for treatment. Turkishonly

Put a different clown in place obviously will still be a joke and no solution unfortunately, but i live in hope

I say this again!!!

Nothing will ever change if He(The President) continue with the plan to introduce the minister of electricity.Bcoz as you know almost all ministers always come up with plans!5yr plan,3yr,6yr ..yr..yr yr ...plan ..plan till they finish their term in office.Jstawaste of taxpayers💵

There was nothing concrete, no timeline, no specified asset allocation. It was all wishful thinking.

The new measures are brilliant but thus far on a small scale.

If you believe this you can just sit in your cold dark shack, eat your pap and shut up.

Well to tackle means you have a plan 2 bring down your opponent...which could mean to bring down the giant that is not wanting to do the jigga-jigga with the rest of the boyz...

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

We need an electricity minister now!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂As per Pinnochio's new plan.....we also need a load shedding minister... What about this guy?

Didn't Eskom have its own coal mine before? If so,then what happened to them. If not why not have one

If Ramaphosa is serious about fixing Eskom, then the so called minister of electricity must not be an Anc member. It must someone with the right expertise , and must not be a politician. Or else chooce one from the opposition like they did with Patricia de Lille

Kicking for touch again. The best we can hope for is the ANC voters stay away from the polls next year. HermanMashaba is the only party leader focussed on winning votes to dislodge the ANC. It will need a miracle but that's the point we've reached. Nothing but a miracle will do.

Disaster. No time lines, all vague bullshit

Our strong focus right now is getting rid of Ramaphosa and putting DuduzaneZumaForPresident

I for one think the emperor's new suit is very fetching.

Well to provide a non-biased opinion, the international markets have spoken as the Rand tanks against all major currencies on the back of perceived pie in the sky actions to address the power crisis in South Africa ?

When is he announcing the other ministers for the other disasters…. Minister of Transport + a minister of roads+ a minister of pot holes; Minister of water and Sanitation + a minister of poop + a minister of pee; ETC…. So many Job opportunities for highly paid ministers 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

NaasBothaRugby also tried to 'tackle'...

If they were focused, they would have listened at early warnings in 1997/8 already, and after that they never maintained the coal plants. Patching the crisis for years with expensive deiseal. No way they can fix anything with a State of Disaster, they they couldn't fix already

Weak weak weak.

Yea and his little speech did absolutelynothing Eskom just hit us with more off its Lies they cant diced if whe are on stage4 ; 3 or 2 With more so called Breakdowns at the same old powerstations its just the same old LIES AS ALWAYS 😡😡😡😡😡

Ramaphosa is and will always be known as a weak and DISHONEST Politician.

You really want a comment after the appointment of an electric minister.?

Let the looting begin...

The new minister of Electric has he worked at a power stations. If not waste of time and tax payers money

What do mean by strong focus ? Promising to appoint minister of Electricity common 😀

Next year this time we will read a similar headline in the newspapers while traveling in horse carts on gravel highways.

start governmentsalaryshedding to help the whole country coz the majority of us a battling just to put food on the table and just survive and they just do not care for any of us, just about how much they can put in their pockets, let see how fast things change then
