Power cuts in SA won’t end soon – Ramaphosa

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has informed citizens that there is no end in sight to  rolling power cuts being experienced in the country.

However, he said things are changing, albeit slowly.

Mr Ramaphosa said in in his weekly newsletter said “We are making progress in the implementation of the additional actions I announced in July, even though the effects may not be immediately felt.”

South Africa is enduring acute energy shortages, with its state energy provider, Eskom, suffering from a lack of investment amid allegations of corruption.

Coal is used to generate 80% of South African electricity but a new deal signed last week will increase the country’s renewable energy output by 10% through private investment in wind and solar projects.

These are not expected to come online until 2024.
