Briefing the media on Friday on the sidelines of the meeting, Mbalula said Cabinet ministers should focus on the job at hand - which is keeping the lights on.
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress 's secretary general, Fikile Mbalula, warned Cabinet ministers to stop fighting over the control of the energy sector.
Mbalula's comments followed reports that Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa was at loggerheads with Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe as well as Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan. At the centre of the disagreements are powers that Ramokgopa should be given in order to execute his mandate to end load shedding.
The ANC’s national executive committee during its sitting this weekend is expected to receive a report from Ramokgopa."The president can't allow reports like there is a fallout...there is territorial battle as if this country is leaderless.”"We expect the president to run his cabinet. Not his Cabinet running itself. If he's got a problem with that, we will have a problem with him.""South Africans are not interested about territorial battles.
