JOHANNESBURG – South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will no longer attend the World Economic Forum in Davos due to the ongoing energy crisis in the country, his spokesman said on Sunday.
Power cuts have worsened since Tuesday when struggling state utility Eskom said it would implement its worst-ever outages until further notice.The power cuts are a major source of public frustration with the governing African National Congress and a brake on economic growth in Africa’s most industrialised nation.
“Currently the President is convening a meeting with leaders of political parties represented in parliament, NECCOM and the Eskom board,” Vincent Magwenya, presidential spokesman said.
