Electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa impled the rotational power cuts will be over by the end of 2024.
Electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said on Tuesday that there would be no need for his ministry by the end of this year. The implication was clear: the rotational power cuts will be over by then. It’s a laudable goal but one that will be greeted with scepticism.“There will not be a need for this ministry by the end of this year,” he told the In Perspective Infrastructure Forum organised by asset manager Ninety One.
“Those are the facts. It startles me, they say resolve the problem, and when we resolve the problem, they say it’s elections,” he said. “Even if the election is tomorrow we will continue to resolve the problem … I’m not a politician, I’m an activist who has been deployed to resolve this problem.” That’s still a long way from wrapping up the Electricity Ministry and declaring “mission accomplished”.”
