To effectively oversee the electricity crisis response, the appointed Minister will have political responsibility, authority and control over all critical aspects of the Energy Action Plan. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I am therefore announcing the appointment of a Minister in the Presidency responsible for resolving the electricity crisis. The primary task of the Minister will be to significantly reduce the severity & frequency of load shedding as a matter of urgency. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Our focus is on the full and urgent implementation of the Energy Action Plan. As government, Eskom and other stakeholders, we remain committed to that plan. https://t.co/utY02r8nwK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We said in the State of the Nation Address that our most immediate task is to dramatically reduce the severity of load shedding in the coming months and ultimately end load shedding altogether. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I have instructed the Presidency and National Treasury to develop a proposal to rationalise government departments, entities and programmes to ensure greater efficiency. https://t.co/lNxgw90ixv — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The second is the Minister with specific responsibility for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation to focus greater attention on the performance of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

In the course of attending to current challenges, we are establishing two new ministries. The first of these is the Minister for Electricity to deal with the immediate crisis of load shedding. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I have sought to balance the need for new skills and capabilities to drive the agenda that we outlined in the State of the Nation Address with the important task of ensuring stability and continuity in the work of government. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The changes that I am announcing now are intended to fill vacancies that have occurred in the Executive and to direct government more effectively towards the areas that require urgent and decisive action. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Understanding that just over one year remains in the term of this 6th administration, these changes are not about overhauling the National Executive. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The President appoints the Deputy President, Ministers and Deputy Ministers from among members of the National Assembly. The President may appoint no more than two Ministers and two Deputy Ministers from outside the National Assembly. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This delay is the result of a number of processes that needed to be followed, some of which relate to the requirements of the Constitution relating to the appointment of members of the National Executive. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

There has been some concern expressed by South Africans about the amount of time it has taken to finalise these changes to the Executive. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

All parts of government are focused on addressing those issues that concern South Africans the most: load shedding, unemployment, poverty and the rising cost of living, and crime and corruption.   https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

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. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have said that the people of South Africa want action, they want solutions and they want government to work for them. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The purpose of these changes is to ensure that government is properly capacitated and directed to give effect to the commitments made in the State of the Nation Address and the Budget Speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Fellow South Africans,   Today, I am announcing a number of changes to the National Executive. https://t.co/bvanPD12dK — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The economic empowerment of women is an important pillar of our struggle to #endGBVF. We have recognised that unequal access to resources and economic opportunity makes it more difficult for women to escape situations of abuse and violence. https://t.co/KG9To24Rdu https://t.co/q167tGLKu3 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

By deepening these relations, we aim to better the lives of our people and continue the struggle to overcome poverty, unemployment and inequality. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

In conclusion, this State Visit has reinforced the firm political and economic relations between our two countries.   #UgandaInSA https://t.co/qTeXbwlVzJ — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We believe that Uganda’s chairing will be an ideal opportunity to revitalise the Non-Aligned Movement so that it pursues the interests of developing economy countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I congratulated President Museveni on Uganda’s nomination as the incoming Chair of the Non-Aligned Movement. https://t.co/qTeXbwlVzJ — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I conveyed to President Museveni that South Africa remains keen on investing in Uganda, particularly in banking, retail and telecommunications. We hope that Ugandan business invest in South Africa for the mutual benefit of the people of both countries. https://t.co/qTeXbwlVzJ — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

On strengthening economic relations, we share a concern that the number of South African companies operating in Uganda, which stood at over 70 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, has declined significantly. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As testament to our growing relations, we have just witnessed the signing of Memoranda of Understanding in diverse areas of cooperation. https://t.co/qTeXbwlVzJ — PolitiTweet.org
