Ramaphosa was responding to questions about the state of the struggling power utility following the resignation of Eskom chair Jabu Mabuza over the latest electricity crisis in the country.He was speaking to the SABC after delivering the ANC’s January 8 statement in Kimberley earlier on Saturday.
Ramaphosa was responding to questions about the state of the struggling power utility following the resignation of Eskom chair Jabu Mabuza over the latest electricity crisis in the country. “As Medupi and Kusile were being built there was cost overrun, they went way beyond what they should have cost and obviously state capture was part of the mix and so the problems were so multiple that lead to where we are and now today we are having to deal with the problem of power stations that are old,” says Ramaphosa.
The ANC President, however, sidestepped questions posed to him by SABC News’ Mzwandile Mbeje over the future of Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan following calls from unions and the EFF that he be sacked. “Jabu Mabuza himself even as they made the promise they did not highlight the risk because there was a risk. MM: But in terms of those who are responsible politically are you going to do anything? ANC President: We are focussing on repositioning Eskom right now. MM: With the same people? ANC President: We’re going ahead you know the people who are executing various tasks they need to focus on those tasks and we move on.

excuses won't fix anything
Ramaphosa is correct, state capture is responsible for eskom woes. He was there at eskom, leading the war room, presiding over Eskom capture. He must go to Zondo Commission and explain how state capture rocked eskom, what role he played in facilitation of that capture.
Shame this one where?, continue to be fed wrong info, I give up MYANC
Tell CyrilRamaphosa to watch the expose' on Eskom by ANN7 on youtube as he claims not to know what Eskom's problems are. We all, he's the president and he claims not to know. State capture, my foot
We never had such problems before him and if there's such a thing as state capture then it was good for us because it did away with this load shedding, the economy was much better, employment rate was higher, petrol price was lower and food was affordable Mr. Clueless
Cyril Ramaphosa must do an honorable thing and resign. Country will be at peace if Cyril can just be quiet at least a month because his a liar
Offs. We know that. What're you going to do about it?
Bring back State capture, things were better than this clueless thugs milking SOEs under the name 'State Capture'... Mxm... If the ANC doesn't remove this useless we would be more poorer and crime will increase in SA...
Ramaphosa must go!
What about this current state capture under CyrilRamaphosa?
Saze savelelwa
Saze savelelwa
His buddies are today captured the state and are indeed responsible for eskom crisis. He is right
Someone has room temperature IQ
Dijosti Every instance of cadre deployment and corruption is state capture
Dijosti Some? Hahahaha
Pretty much 3,5 trillion rand stolen from SA, most peoples comments on this post have no idea how much that really is and how it effects a country in whole
Aikhona,they were sold thing here.
Blame shifter president
Are you kidding me ? This guy
When will CyrilRamaphosa take the evidence to StateCaptureCom he must lead by example. Why sit on evidence of criminality?
Will this song finally come to an end our prblm results of state capture, wasted 9yrz etc... Last kick of dying horse
Isithutha lobaba isiphukuphuku sokugcina lesi, always shifting goal post. This President doesn't want to be held accountable.
TheOtherView3 The ANC is responsible for all of Eskom's problems.
Mxmmm so there was a state capture 🤔🤔🤔 but the commission was established to find that out. This is premature to preempt on that.
Are u claiming u ddnt knw?
State capture is not responsible for SOME of the problems at Eskom but for EVERY problem at Eskom.
Ramaphosa will blame everyone and anything but Pravin & himself. This shows he was never leadership material. He and Pravin must go!!!!
Hahahahahahaha. When all else fails, go back to the original lie.
SABC you haven't reported about the firms that Ramaphosa said they can generate their own electricity. Why are you not reporting about it? Julius_S_Malema GardeeGodrich FloydShivambu
Fokof Cyril Ramaliar you better keep quiet. incompetent president
State capture by those interests that HE serves: coal contracts, maintenance contracts, RE IPPs ripping off Eskom leading to consecutive losses of R20bn per annum.
Useless tool.
Nansi imihlola unthinking lo Baba Vele?
Prove that StateCaptureCom element that led to collapse of Eskom_SA. Isn't pravingordhan fake pharmacist & taxi driver Jabu Mabuza
Conveyor belt, sabotage and state capture. But Jabu Mabuse promised to stop it till 13 Jan 2020. You said that you implement turn around strategy after firing the executive and board that enabled state capture.
Mnxm
I thought it was sabotage?🤔
Nauseating at best😁😁. Round robbin of excuses, thn back to the initial 'sin' , ooh my Lot! Cyril, ngeke ndoda, ngeke! From state capture, to the rubber thing, to someone removing an instrument, to subotage thn back to state capture🤷🏿♂️ Hayi, ngeke babah! ngeke!
Argh
Not sabotage anymore
Usuqalile-ke Thumamina lamanga enu.
Uyahlanya wena
Can someone remind this buffoon that loadshedding came back after his appointment
If it is proven that state capture is responsible for some of Eskom problems then why waste time and money with the Zondo commission. I have a problem when a politician annoumces the problem before complitions of the commission. Pilitical interfearance.
state capture this & that we are tired! cus noone has never been hold accountable jz ,Nomvula,Guptas,magashule the list goes on &on they roaming around like nothing happened .
True. Exxaro, Motsepe, Glencore, IPP's have long captured Eskom_SA
George Soros state capture ?
Not some Mr President, state capture is the core reason for the fall of Eskom and all the other state owned entities
Sehlanya lona kasazenzi
PresJGZuma appointed U((Ramaphosa) to handle the situation at Eskom while you where the deputy President of the country,yoy failed dismally to raised that but nevertheless while dont you tell the country about the role Glencoe played in bankrupting Eskom let alone the IPPs....
By playing the useless state capture lie, Ramaphosa has made himself very unpopular!!
I'm now tired of hearing the same boring song.Two years in office as a president but still doesn't know what he is doing.
Clean everything useless Mr President. We cannot live from lies.
Corruption is reaching breaking point, bottom of the barrel, not even Ramsy here knows what to do anymore...
The result of the so called alleged BLACK EXCELLENCE, is now haunting the country as the MYANC government of destruction displaying their incompetence ones again with only on goal, steal, steal, loot, loot,
That’s true. However, the slow pace of the Zondo Commission risks it being viewed a soapie and a way to help the wrongdoers live out the rest of their lives in comfort. Seeking unity with Ace et al dilutes the current regime’s resolve to have them prosecuted and others deterred.
CyrilRamaphosa is pathological liar , another rehearsed speech
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ai cupcake 🧁
Mr President why do we have the Zondo Commission investigating whether or not there was state capture if you continue with your assertions in this way. Dont you think you should be providing leadership in the Commission terms of references instead of confusion.
He is still on this script Come on, this is getting boring now, u can't be blaming imaginary forces for ever.
This man is lying again. As he and his brother in law lining up for renewable energy contracts for supplying Eskom he collupses Eskom now blame state capture, the advanced state capturing is happening under his watch.
uyanya
State Capture he was serving under
He is not even shy about his stupidity
Hey this guy...
Cyril Ramaphosa is bad news. How ANC gave us this useless president? They must correct this before its too late because we don't have a president in Ramaphosa.
Oh God..would this man just keep quite just for a month please.😠😡😡😠

Ramaphosa says ANC will speed up the process of transforming EskomPresident Cyril Ramaphosa says the ANC will speed up the process of transforming Eskom into an effective and reliable energy supplier that can “operate in an open, competitive energy sector”. Whatever the ANC touches turns to shit. What he means is 'break eskom even more'.... Don't you mean finishing off eskom, and the country for good, you useless sock.
