Cabinet reshuffle does nothing about country’s pressing problems
7 March 2023
With his Cabinet reshuffle, President Cyril Ramaphosa did absolutely nothing to address the two most significant problems faced by the country and its people, namely power and crime.
Concerning the power crisis, the President appointed Dr Kgosientso Ramokgopa as the Minister of Electricity, which is basically no more than a project manager.
This is despite the fact that Dr Ramokgopa was surrounded by controversy a number of years ago while serving as the Executive Mayor of Tshwane precisely because of an electricity-related fiasco regarding smart electricity meters in the city.
That was but a practice run for what awaits the Minister at Eskom.
