The ANC has proposed government declare a state of disaster due to the ongoing energy crisis, President Cyril Ramaphosa said.
While delivering the closing remarks during the party’s two-day NEC lekgotla held in Kempton Park on Monday, Ramaphosa said one of the proposal that came from party leaders was to declare a state of disaster.
“There was talk about a declaration of a national state of disaster like we did when we faced Covid-19 and there’s broad agreement we should move in that direction. Ramaphosa said during the discussions, the lekgotla agreed that energy security was key to the country’s national interest, its sovereignty and national security.“There is a clear objective from the ANC to end load shedding within a much shorter timeframe than what’s projected. A set of actions has been set out to achieve that objective,” he said.
