Power cuts are worse under Ramokgopa

JOHANNESBURG – Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa and other politicians regularly tell South Africans that Eskom is doing well in fighting load-shedding, but official data tells a different story. The year-on-year loadshedding severity has increased since Ramokgopa was appointed as electricity minister. The average year-on-year loadshedding stage increased from 1.94 in 2022 to 2.64 in 2023 under Ramokgopa’s leadership.
