President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday said that now was not the time to point fingers at who was responsible for Eskom’s ongoing rolling blackouts.
Ramaphosa told journalists: “We are all concerned and, also, a bit upset. Others are very angry, and this is the time for us to work together to solve this problem.”
“It then becomes unfortunate when those generators that are meant to generate the power also face breakages and now, obviously, when it happens around two or more occasions, like matriculants writing exams and an election, it does become a major challenge to the people of our county. I am concerned,” he said.
“I know that they are working very hard to turn the situation around and I am confident that they will turn it around by the weekend,” he said.
