South Africa’s electricity crisis will be the main item on the agenda of the ANC NEC meeting amid reports of power struggles over plans for Eskom.💡TheCitizenNews
Mbalula also commented on reports alleging that Ramokgopa was at loggerheads with Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe and Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan.
“The president can’t allow reports like there is a fallout… there [are] territorial battles as if this country is leaderless. We expect the president to run his Cabinet. Not his Cabinet running itself. If he’s got a problem with that, we will have a problem with him,” he said. “South Africans are not interested about territorial battles. They are interested about what is it that we do to increase generation capacity in the country.”Earlier this month, Ramokgopa proposed that government extend the life of some of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations to avoid losing megawatts in generation capacity.
