South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced changes to his Cabinet on Monday, including a new minister of electricity, amid the escalating power crisis in the country.
In a live national broadcast on Monday evening, Ramaphosa said, "The purpose of these changes is to ensure that the government is properly capacitated and directed to give effect to the commitments made in the State of the Nation Address and the Budget Speech (earlier this year)." "We have said that the people of South Africa want action, they want solutions and they want the government to work for them. All members of the Executive have been directed to focus on those agreed actions that will make a meaningful difference now, that will enable real progress within the next year and that will lay a foundation for a sustained recovery into the future," he added.
