"It requires the undivided attention of a political principal who does not need to split their time and energies among different important responsibilities. This appointment will ensure that there is a Minister who is ultimately responsible for resolving load shedding and who is able to work with all fellow Cabinet ministers, departments and entities to do so," he says.
He adds that the Western Cape is teeming with call centres, and this is largely thanks to the national government,"whether you like it or not". Ramaphosa:"We have implemented far-reaching economic reforms to restore confidence in our economy, opened the way for private investment in electricity generation for the first time, and released spectrum to harness the potential of the digital era.
