Government’s response to the energy crisis has been laboured and slow.
Despite the South African government’s showmanship around dealing with the country’s power crisis with “urgency”, in reality, its response has been incredibly slow.
The new minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, has also been making a big show of being on the ground and actively dealing with the crisis. “South Africa is taking a very tardy approach to the resolution of its energy crisis, with no urgent plans for a substantial increase in the power supply in the short-term, and energy experts expect load shedding to persist daily this year, worsening over winter,” Bishop said.
“The deteriorating state and insufficiency of electricity transmission is also a limitation on energy projects,” she said.
