22 March 2019
As he spoke of his conviction that South Africa would have free and fair elections on May 8, President Cyril Ramaphosa appealed to all South Africans not to panic over Eskom.
Campaigning in Cape Town for the ANC on Friday, (March 22, 2019), President Ramaphosa said the Government was addressing the Eskom issue every day.
“A suggestion of sabotage has been made and investigations are underway. But at the same time, we’ve got to stabilize the grid. Fortunately, the Minister of Public Enterprises (Pravin Gordhan) has reported that they were able to revive and restore the power line from Cahora Bassa. So we will have an additional 900 megawatts,” President Ramaphosa told the news media.
He added: “We are addressing the Eskom issue every day. I’m saying to the whole nation let’s not panic let us join hands, close ranks and work together.”
