Cosatu has cautioned that the national state of disaster announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address on Thursday must not turn into another enrichment scheme for politicians and businesspeople. | BongeMacupe

"The president spoke about the investment summit that is coming; there is no investor that will want to invest in an economy that cannot guarantee its investment."The declaration of a national state of disaster to resolve the energy crisis in this country must not suffer the same consequences of Covid-19, where we saw what was supposed to be for the people going to politicians and business people," said Losi.

Speaking on the electricity crisis, Ramaphosa acknowledged that a lot could go wrong without a reliable supply of electricity. "Businesses cannot grow, assembly lines cannot run, crops cannot be irrigated, and basic services are interrupted. Load shedding means that households and supermarkets are unable to keep food fresh, water supply is often disrupted, traffic lights do not work, streets are not lit at night," said Ramaphosa.

"Without a reliable supply of electricity, our efforts to grow an inclusive economy that creates jobs and reduces poverty will not succeed." He also announced a dedicated minister of electricity stationed in the Presidency.
