on 13 February to deliver his State of the Nation Address, he had a big and unenviable job to assure his country that he knows what he’s doing, and things will improve. But there was also no one else best suited to be standing where he was, since no one else has anywhere near as much capital to spend as he does.
He confirmed the government would be issuing a sector 34 determination, in terms of the Electricity Regulation Act, to begin the implementation of the Integrated Resource Plan, particularly the sourcing of distributed energy. Essentially, the government is taking steps to diversify energy supply including sourcing more electricity from independent power producers .

The upgrades are noteworthy as they are necessary, achievable and, if concluded on time, can be used by the ANC as a campaign tool ahead of 2021 local government elections. It is also unfortunately, like Ramaphosa’s pledges on energy, threatened by the existence of a large, dysfunctional and chronically mismanaged state-owned company.
