President Cyril Ramaphosa urged Eskom management to rapidly restore its ailing power stations and promised government assistance for the task.

"We are not going to privatise Eskom," he added."We are going to strengthen Eskom so that it can deliver energy as it should."Eskom, which supplies 95-percent of South Africa's electricity, has been crippled by poorly designed coal-fired power stations, as well as decades of mismanagement and alleged corruption under former president Jacob Zuma.

Ramaphosa on Saturday urged Eskom management to rapidly restore its ailing power stations and promised government assistance for the task.South Africa's government has pledged R128-billion to Eskom over a three-year period that began in February 2019. This week, the World Bank cut its economic growth forecast for South Africa from 1.0-percent to 0.9-percent in 2020 due to electricity supply concerns.

Give us a break. 🙄 The ANC couldn’t restore a leaning shack!

For a day

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What they want to do, whilst filling up on expensive food and even more expensive booze playing to a crowd that are too blind to see they are getting screwed over royally, and what they actually deliver will no doubt be something very different.... Same bullshit, different day..

How

He was tasked with that many years ago (2014).... and he also promised no load shedding 17 Dec 2019 to 13 Jan 2020 ... 🤔🧐

Another promise that won't be fulfilled Mr Pres... CyrilRamaphosa .

Rather put us on a managed Stage 2 loadshedding for 6 months...but the public wants to see action and arrests of the thieves in the ANC.

Ja, well, no, fine!

I believe you CR.

Been saying that for more than 10 years.

dont make me laugh

How? By saying it?

Ramapromisa 😂🚸

President of broken promises

He's talking BS!!!

ehlers_anthony Wasn't he tasked with this 6 years ago?

The man can’t even get his McDonald’s drive-tru’s to work properly. Stay in the drive-thru lane Cyril!

😂

Mr VOWER has vowed the vow

Through privatization of Eskom probably

Is he gonna be the president and Minister of Public enterprise at the same time coz it’s clear Pravin Gordon is struggling to come up with a strategic move to save our SOE

Lies lies lies

Please CyrilRamaphosa we beg you 🙏 Eskom_SA is the biggest threat to our economy and the greatest challenge of the PresidencyZA

779 LM 74 b hi

Mnxm

Kind of Dejavu

Gwede's facial expression says it all

Vows/promises are just words means nothing to us as we don’t trust you. It’s the how we are interested in Mr president. Tell us how you going to restore a reliable power supply and we will listen.

jvnaidoo Bwahaaaaaaa.

'Reliable power'?, mhmmmm, the only reliable power so far is PresJGZuma not seeing his day in court..... MYANC CyrilRamaphosa

Booooo

Rinse and repeat ...

He's more into motivational speaker than a leader who can hit the ground running and implement.

With the help of your enemy, a white man!

And I will be the Queen of England! 😂

Only if you put your hand in your own pockets, donate to eskom, the taxpayers have paid enough. Also get the rich ANC elitest to donate.

cyril it will take 5 to 10 years all power stations was broke by your useless anc

Ya right.

The misled prez vows to act on his misled self and his cANCer cronies who misled him. We can't be misled anymore. contemplate

Pffft like people are going to get arrested for corruption?

By 2030 if we r lucky

The previous Pres could sing ... This one just whines.

Moe and more lies..sies

Always empty promises from these idiots. Never actual results

🤣🤣 really ... you know that you cannot ... let it sink in. You need to fire /retrench at least 30000 drift wood employees And after that you will require at least a Trillion + rand to get back on track ... where will you get this if i may ask mr ANC

😂😂😂😂😂

He cant. Futile promise.

jvnaidoo Ja jaja and ja. How by blowing hot air up our backsides.

ANC is too Captured by its own Corruption ...effectively paralyzed to take appropriate action

With who's money, his

Wasn’t he tasked with that several years ago He makes mindless vows and never keeps hem. Don’t think he has a clue. If I’m wrong Cyril then give the sceptical public some idea of how you will keep this vow.

Yah, right.

Yet more empty promises

It is now very hard to believe what President Ramaphosa is telling us in his speeches.......kuncono angakhulumi amane akwenze lokhu akucabangayo

Mxm

'My People,I will give u Power & Dignity while i 'work' in my Oval Office! i Will play with Your Lights while u light ur Matches! i VowThis to be my Basic Rule of False Election...sorry..Electrical Current Misinformation,on my rd of Promises;to u my People in Drkness! Amandla!'

Talk talk talk listen listen listen.......boom no electricity

From were

The only way to do that is to back off completely and let Iberholzer get on with job without interference. CR has shown on many occasions now that he just doesn’t understand the problem

I no longer trust anything he says

I'm waiting for arrests and prosecutions. Does not matter who sits on the board, if the organisation is over staffed with incompetence, nothing will change.

We will be shocked, in more ways than one.

Witch is witch

When.....?

How shure he is if they dont mislead him

Make CyrilRamaphosa CEO of Eskom. When he talks, the power stays on.

BS

Laughing

😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lies, Lies, Lies. Should we laugh or should we cry? Promises became jokes. There's no truthful meaning in what the ANC call a promise.

BigDaddyDees89 🥱 Yeah right after those Millions houses in Alex are built and before the many millions of jobs he was creating , but right after he addresses his ANC cadres stealing everything that's no nailed down

Restore Law first, everywhere in the world South Africa is known for crime

Lies we had loadshedding since 12 :am until nxaaa.

He cannot do it by tapping more from the scrawny tax base so he might sell the SA soul to the Chinese.

We've heard that one before! We've also heard about SAA, SABC, PRASA, RAF, etc., etc. And it looks as if Uncle Gwede is asleep in this picture!

Call me Thomas,I’ll believe it when I see it. For now let me just take a nap ...........this guy’s middle name is Promise 💤 💤

BigDaddyDees89

What happened to the $20 Billion Dollars not Rand that Saudi Arabia gave Cyril in 2018 when he was appointed to fix up Eskom?

Don't make promises you can't keep

Just like you promised there’d be no load shedding until 13 January 2020 - that was a lie too! 😡😤😡

I actually hope they dont restore the power. The built up frustration of millions of South Africans seems only too eager and on the edge to finally spill over.

Talk is cheap. All you do is talk but we never see any tangible results, why is that? CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA

Asthembe uqinisile

PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa MYANC you don't have a clue how to run a country. Those who vote for this incompetent party need to catch a wake up & vote in the Our_DA wherever you can.

BS

Waffle on, SA citizens have heard all the talk, get motivated and get things done.

Oh please Cyril can't restore anything...

If I had a $ for everytime he made that promise I could retire

All very sweet ..but you have no choice now do you Mr President ? You clever enough to realise that without reliable power supply ...we are buggered every which way

lootgous I vow never to vote for a corrupt party that has lost control

This is madness

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this guy is a clown

Which century?

We've got also uranium and oil in Zambia!

A VOW is a solemn promise, one has to be dignified to take a VOW, please show your dignity in keeping your VOW.

Reliable power supply with the current Eskom fleet is like this old man hoping to grow new front teeth

By when? Timelines!! So that we can tell him to voetsek if he fails.

All this vowing and NO MEASUREABLE ACTION AND RESULTS

Just liberalize the sector. Admit that Eskom can't produce enough electricity at the lowest possible price. More jobs will be created & more electricity to power your investment drive will be available. As it stands, the economy is collapsing and you will be blamed! Be bold.

He was part of the Eskom war room formed by ex president Zuma

Empty promises

Mxm...That's a politician doing his work as usual.

They can't fault you for looting the public purse so they need to clutch on the electricity crisis to make you look bad.

Try the other one. It's got bells on.
