“The president has taken this decision to give attention to pressing domestic priorities and preparations for the governing party [NEC meeting] and cabinet lekgotla,” presidency spokesperson Khusela Diko said on Thursday. Ramaphosa's decision to not attend the international events comes as the crisis at the power utility deepens. He was criticised in December 2019 for going on a two-day trip to Egypt while the country was experiencing rolling blackouts.

Diko said Ramaphosa was also busy with preparations for SA's assumption of the chairmanship of the African Union at the summit to be held in February.
