However, the council said it is sharply opposed to Ramaphosa's plan to appoint an electricity minister.
"The BBC welcomes the declaration of a National State of Disaster on the Energy crises and will await more details on the matter. However, the BBC is not convinced that an appointment of a Minister of Electricity in the Presidency will contribute anything positive to the ending of loadshedding as this will just add another layer of bureaucracy on an already complicated situation," read the council's statement.
BBC added that it was concerned about Ramaphosa's failure to mention the broad-based black economic empowerment in his State Of the Nation Address , signals that"black person you are on your own".ted by the omission of the importance of the B-BBEE, especially as the B-BBEE Act is turning 20 years this year. This is a clear indication that government does not take economic transformation seriously. The BBC views this as “black man/woman, you are on your own," said the council.
"As we said before, time for too much talk and announcements about intentions is over. It is time for n as the economy and job creation can not be left to hope," said the council. "Our reinvigorated law enforcement agencies are taking firm action against companies and individuals alleged to have been involved in state capture," he said.e BBC notes the planned finalisation of the Billen-owned enterprises and would like to emphasise that until and unless the 40% set aside for women and any other marginalised group is entrenched in the PPB, these intensions will remain a pipedream.
