The Black Business Council has slammed President Cyril Ramaphosa’s cabinet, saying it “lacks urgency” to deal with the country’s energy crisis.
“The BBC is disheartened that the cabinet met for the entire day only to issue a statement that they are still in discussion,” BBC CEO Kganki Matabane said on Thursday. “We view this as government being run through public relations trying to create an impression they are doing something while actually doing nothing to resolve blackouts,” said Matabane.
The council’s views come after the cabinet released a statement on Wednesday afternoon following its scheduled virtual meeting, saying it was “still deliberating on these reports”. It had received a briefing by public enterprises minister on the capacity of Eskom and a progress report from the technical committee of the national energy crisis committee.Cabinet spokesperson Phumla Williams said the government regretted the intermittent load-shedding and an announcement on the crisis would be made soon. It is not yet clear when this will be made.
