President Ramaphosa vows to end blackouts
President Cyril Ramaphosa is promising to end rolling blackouts.
He’s blamed a lack of maintenance and state capture on problems at Eskom.
Ramaphosa says a number of changes are being made to move away from total reliance on Eskom.
He says this is being done through the Renewable Energy IPP Procurement Programme.
Some generating capacity has already been connected to the grid with more expected next year.
He also says the utility’s unbundling is on track and will be completed by December.
Ramaphosa’s comments come after Eskom board member Busisiwe Mavuso blamed the ANC-led government for the country’s electricity crisis.
It is difficult and unacceptable for South Africans to endure load-shedding. But we are doing everything in our means to ensure that, like state capture, it soon becomes a thing of the past. https://t.co/WHg16iT8tt pic.twitter.com/3w2OCIS42D
