Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele said the departments of public enterprises and finance were working with Eskom to minimise load shedding hours.
JOHANNESBURG - Cabinet on Thursday said while it recognised the strain load shedding was placing on the economy and millions of people, various departments were speaking to Eskom to change this reality.Cabinet is under no illusion that the energy crisis is a huge cost to our economy and frustration among ordinary South Africans is also building up.
Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele said many efforts were being made to improve the country’s massive energy crisis. He said the departments of public Enterprises and finance were working with Eskom to minimise load shedding hours and get money to buy spare parts to fix infrastructure. “Eskom is making progress in reemploying skilled personnel, including plant managers to help the power utility to make headway at individual power stations and across various operations of the business.”
Earlier this week, ANC national chairperson Gwede Mantashe said the "biggest opposition this election was Eskom” while president Cyril Ramaphosa was confident last week that the Eskom load shedding would not hurt the ANC at the polls.
