President Cyril Ramaphosa on Saturday described the challenges facing crisis-stricken Eskom as “complex” saying measures were being taken to address them.

Speaking at his first public engagement since returning from attending Queen Elizabeth's funeral in the UK on Tuesday, Ramaphosa said: “The challenge is being addressed. It’s a complex one and we will be speaking soon about various measures that we are taking to make sure that we address this challenge.”

Addressing scores of people attending the national Heritage Day celebrations at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, Ramaphosa said the country has faced a myriad of challenges.

Lying again.

You are complex not challenges looking how you can’t answer any question you are asked

If criminal gangs & mafia are the problem, then take an executive action Mr President. Wishing & hoping is useless. Bring back the scorpions & take the criminals down. All of them, wherever they are, friends, foes, in your cabinet, in your police force. Stand up & take them down!

Liar.

Take the MYANC out of the scenario and South Africa will be less 'complex' and a better place for all.

Perseverance? That's the only thing he can come up with Perseverance? Thixo!

Taking proper action to stop corruption is not complex.

The only complex thing about whether or not they fix Eskom_SA is that so many MYANC ministers have their fat fingers in the honey jar, its impossible to do anything. And CyrilRamaphosa doesn't have the багг$ to do anything about it. It will take an act of God to fix Eskom.

Is it a how to steal thing and BEE. Must be. Eskom.

Occupying a presidential seat for 5yrs it's a very long time, the man looks tired and ran out of excuses. CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Arrest the saboteurs you spinless minion!

He rushed back to say this 🤔 He had already said it before he left for the Queen's burial 🤔

We are tired. He is almost talking alone now and to Himself this nowadays since He was a business head of government during Comrade Zuma's time to date, He is talking the same thing about Eskom. War room manager. Nothing changed. We are tired of Him.

There are no challenges,its officially a disaster,why keep Jamnandas,deRuyter and Gweezy when they failing?This president and his entire cabinet are a curse,I wonder who bewitched our beautiful country that we ended up with msunu's like these

Tsek

Useless

2015.

VoetsekANC FokkofCyril

If they so 'Complex' why would they need an ANC idjit like Cyril and his band of 4000 ANC Thievies🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣

He says a lot but rarely fulfills his grandiose plans

Talking sh!t and lying as usual

Just privatise then it is not the anc’s problem anymore. To those opposing privatisation. Do you honestly think it will be more expensive and worse than now? A monopoly, has no incentive

“For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.” Psalm 5:9 ESV

More empty promises

Cant run his political party but thinks he can fix eskom

Listen to a man that doesn’t declare tax money meant for the country and hides it under his mattress instead. Um Mkay. Sounds legit.

'Shocked', 'commission of enquiry', 'taking measures', 'patience'. These words mean nothing now Mr President

Been addressing them since 2014 when he headed the great big 'war room'..

What's the plan? Generation capacity where when?

Fuseg nobubi

Our biggest problem is ANC cadres in government 🙄

Kodwa le tyma

😭😭😭😭mzansi please let's remind our president of 2015 what he said, he is talking like a scratch vinyl

jvnaidoo1 Bollox CyrilRamaphosa we don't believe you can fix it, get help by qualified people and stop the stealing

The INFANTILISATION of the people. Complex ? 🤨Complex to burn coal and boil water?☝🏾 President ahitwiwi.💁🏾‍♂️

Genius!

Mmmm, how interesting. I can't wait to see the bloodshed taking place. The cancer of Eskom is within that same network. Can't wait. Truth is bad in these zones.

Ja ne .. if kakpraat was a person 😒

Fire Pravin, Board, CEO

He came back to do what kahle?🤔🚮

This country is battling ANC incompetence! Let's focus on the cause not the symptoms.

You took your time to tell us about PHALA PHALAGATE now you telling us to be patient….now you making us feel like IDIOTS…we are tied sir of your VOET VOET TACTICS 😡😡😡

28 years of monkeys running the animal farm

Fusek jelle muurskont

Mr Rams can you please act like T-Bos Mbeki when comes to crime,why all the Eskom Schemers are still outside enjoying privilege outside while ppl are suffering?make a plan like Tboos did with de heist problem during his presidency. Use your advantage powers this makes u weak 🙏

jvnaidoo1 Blah blah blah fishpaste

Complex? I rest my case, you are an errand chap of note indeed.

All away from London to tell us that we must be 'perseverance' 🤔🤔

So he cut short his trip to come and tell us he himself finds this problem too complicated to solve...?

One more word added: complex. Who would have thought?

And we plead for u and ur cadres to stop looting the country, but we are not gonna get what we want, are we?

Hey Cyril. I want to fit solar power in my house...it will cost me a MINIMUM of R150000!!! So, an idea...subsidise anybody who wants to fit solar...let's say 50%...the solar companies instantly make more money ( and create more jobs ) and we reduce pressure on Eskom...easy hey ?

I'm tired of your pleadings man, uzo pleader kuze kube nini? 🤷🏿‍♂️

We’re all waiting for Spineless CyrilRamaphosa to announce his next highly paid task team to do nothing about the electricity crisis. 🤡

But did your minister not say that it is a global problem. As the rest of the world how they are overcoming their complex problem?

Measures always... Sick and tired NOW. PROMISES PROMISES THAT NEVER. COME

Lies telling is a major part of his DNA. The only shock he has is that fools believe him.

Measures were taken since 2008 and there's no solution even now. Just accept that you failed as ANC govt to govern this country

Yes it complex when one wants to keep the looting machine

Deny, deflect, delay, and don't put anything in writing.

Those measures were being taken to address since he took over as the President of the ANC. More speeches less action. PhalaPhalaFarmGate

When something is “complex” it is difficult to analyze or understand. Isn’t it time CR and all his line managers down to the Board at Eskom admit they have failed and recruit an international solution involving experts from USA and Europe together with General, Yelland and Blom?

I'm happy to join those who are sharing the good news about Brandonkaren11 I'm not persuading anyone to trade with her but i advise every investor to make the right choice when it comes to Bitcoin mining i got my withdrawal safely without any interruption

Complex syndicates

The ANC in way over their head.
