State Of Disaster Declared, Ramaphosa To Appoint Electricity Minister

SOUTH AFRICA
  • South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa used his State of the Nation Address to outline measures to address the ongoing energy crisis. The leader declared a national state of disaster in order to cut red tape and facilitate spending on new generation capacity. He also announced that the Cabinet will be expanded through the appointment of a new Minister of Electricity, who will oversee the electricity crisis response.
  • The decision to appoint a new minister responsible for handling the energy crisis has come under criticism amid concerns that the new official's remit might overlap with the jurisdictions of Energy Minister and Public Enterprises Minister. Meanwhile, the main opposition Democratic Alliance and trade union Solidarity vowed to take legal action against the state of disaster declaration.
  • The ruling African National Congress will hold a media briefing on yesterday's SONA at 11:00SAST/09:00GMT.
