Government is making every effort to resolve the energy challenges in the country, according to Acting Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni. She says every effort is being made to stabilise Eskom. Her comments come after Wednesday’s cabinet briefing.
“Cabinet is aware of the negative socio-economic impact, disruption and inconvenience caused by load-shedding to ordinary citizens and businesses over the past few weeks,” Ntshavheni said.
“Every effort is being made to resolve current energy challenges and bring new power generation capacity online in the shortest possible time, which is fundamental to South Africa’s economic recovery.
“At the same time, government continues to support concerted efforts to stabilise Eskom and set it on a sustainable growth path,” she said. Cabinet welcomed the announcement by Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe of eight preferred bidders to provide an additional 2,000 megawatts of emergency electricity that will help support the national grid over the short term.
