ACTION PLEDGE

Minister of Electricity, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, has promised swift action to tackle loadshedding following his appointment by President Cyril Ramaphosa on March 6. Seen here being sworn in by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, Ramokgopa has indicated that he plans to spend much of the next few weeks in boots, a hard hat and overalls as he engages directly with Eskom power stations managers to find ways to improve the dismal performance of the coal fleet. He has refrained from providing a deadline for ending loadshedding but has indicated that his main aim is to find ways to add 10000 MW to the energy starved grid. Photograph: The Presidency
