Ramaphosa: Kgosientsho Ramokgopa must think about electricity even when he goes to toilet
African National Congress (ANC) leader Cyril Ramaphosa says everything is being done to ensure that the load-shedding crisis is solved.

Solving the problem of electricity
At the beginning of his address, Ramaphosa took the opportunity to boast about how the ANC has been looking after the people of South Africa.
Commenting on load shedding, the president said a lot was being done to address the issue.
“If you don’t maintain your car, one day it will break down and that is what we are now addressing.
“We have appointed an Electricity minister and I want to say to [Kgosientsho] Ramokgopa, even when he goes to the toilet, I want him to be thinking about electricity,” Ramaphosa said.
Ramaphosa echoed Ramokgopa’s sentiments about the winter season, saying the cold months was going to be an enormous challenge for many South Africans, with the demand for electricity expected to spike.
“We are addressing this challenge that all of us have and I am absolutely certain that having appointed an engineer, we will be able to solve the problem.
“Working together with Minister Gwede Mantashe, Pravin Gordhan, and all of us, we will be able to solve the problem of electricity,” the president continued.
