Electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has vowed to 'stay out of politics of electricity and energy', saying he see himself as a portfolio manager.

“I need to experience the problem. What is going to help me is that I’m an engineer [and] engineers are trained to resolve problems, so this is my forte. The more technically complex it looks and the more impossible it looks, the greater my appetite. I am ready for the fight, of course working with a collective of the players.

“The appointment of an electricity minister doesn’t resolve load-shedding. It is the actions of the electricity minister working with the player stakeholders to resolve load-shedding.” CapeTalk , Ramokgopa said he would meet stakeholders within the next 20 days to formulate a detailed implementation plan.

“We will be committing ourselves as the stakeholders in the energy space to a timeline. We are going to resolve load-shedding,” he said.PODCAST | Ramaphosa’s cabinet reshuffle was to please ANC, not the country

Here comes the sh*t. He doesn't even know he is a Minister.

He's mimicking what Pravin told him

Maybe then the coal plants have got a chance of not completely collapsing...

but it's a political appointment, no?

As long as he remains a portfolio manager the Eskom criminal syndicates wont bother him. But he must be clear about one thing - if this is how he sees the problem, he wont stop loadshedding ever.

Is it his turn to eat from the Eskom trough?…….
