Frustration grows as the government leaves South Africans in the dark over what’s being done about load shedding.

President Cyril Ramaphosa is convening a special meeting with the President’s Coordinating Council on Friday to address the ongoing energy crisis in South Africa.

South Africa’s National Energy Crisis Committee, a body run by Ramaphosa’s office, said that a range of interventions have been made to mitigate the energy crisis – including new laws to speed up the approval and development of power plants – but no details or timelines have been delivered. Western Cape premier Alan Winde on Thursday called for Ramaphosa to tell South Africa what he was doing to resolve the issue.

Winde said the real GDP lost to the province due to load shedding was estimated at R8.2 billion. The economic damage is expected to grow significantly not only in the Western Cape but across the country unless decisive and urgent interventions implemented at a national level, he said.

CyrilRamaphosa forever calling meetings but never any action

We will just get flapping lips and no action

Spineless, incompetent and a confounded liar 🤥

So when will South Africans get the answers?

And what did they discuss?

Talk talk talk and no action to stop the sabotage and vandalism of our power stations. Blah blah blah blah. And then they want more money in higher tariffs but they do NOTHING.

He was in a war room of eskom,was a CEO of glencoe,today he's still clueless of what's happening at eskom.

That's about it. Another meeting. Nothing further.

Mxm,

He is incapable of anything beyond a meeting. Poor cadre trying to get something done but finding he isn't equiped for it.

His PR team working very hard this year so far.

special meeting about what, stand around the room scratching your head whilst acknowledging there are now no more scapegoats for the shitshow problem you have inflicted upon the country?

How many special meeting will there be until an actual solution and fix are found

Last time this meeting produced 10 point plan that is not yet implemented. We will probably have a 20 point plan just for the minutes sake

Show us the plan with tasks, milestones, dates and who is accountable for each step. You can also include the budget. We want complete visibility.

Want want him to step down, he can right a book about the answers later

meetings...

How many meetings will He 'Demand' till he addresses the country. I mean from last week all we being told is that He's having meetings

Tired of his meetings.
