Following criticism by South Africans about lack of improvement in the electricity crisis that the country is facing, president Cyril Ramaphosa has finally broke his silence.
Critics have been lamenting that the appointment of electricity minister has not yielded any positive results. The situation has rather deteriorated, leaving many wondering whether Ramaphosa made the right decision or not.
The ANC leader has however revealed that he has no regrets about his appointment of electricity minister. He said it was an informed decision, and hopes that the minister will turn the electricity crisis around.
Ramaphosa was speaking in where the National Working Committee is engaging with the party members to improve service delivery.
“The next election is going to be about service delivery at a local level such as electricity, water and roads. In the beginning there were doubts about me appointing the minister of electricity, it was an inspired decision,” said Cyril Ramaphosa.
ANC’s biggest region, eThekwini broke into song in favour of party president Cyril Ramaphosa. Previously, some comrades in Kwa-Zulu Natal used to boo the party president and singing songs that favoured the former leader Jacob Zuma in his presence.

It seems comrades are now embracing unity for the sake of the movement. ANC is struggling to provide services to the people. This has resulted in eThekwini metro being placed under Section 154 with the deployment of former presidency director general to try and restore governance.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said the minister of electricity has assured him that South Africa will not have a complete blackout. His utterances comes after many have expressed fear that this electricity crisis might result in a blackout.
“These problems started a view years ago when wrong paths and decisions were taken. I wanted someone who will work on electricity day and night, breath, dream and eat electricity,” said the ANC leader, Cyril Ramaphosa.
