The government will within days announce new ways to address the country's worst power crisis yet, President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Friday.
Addressing a South African Communist Party conference, Ramaphosa said the government needed to"use every available means and remove every regulatory obstacle to bring extra electricity onto the grid as soon as possible".
Late last month Eskom started implementing what are known as"Stage 6" power cuts for only the second time in its history, blaming a strike over pay for hampering efforts to bring malfunctioning power units back online. The power cuts have piled pressure on small businesses and households recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and grappling with inflation at a five-year high.
