According to TimesLIVE, the Central Karoo mayor also had a dire prediction for the future of the African National Congress (ANC). McKenzie claimed that the ANC government would not survive another 12 months of blackouts.
Last year McKenzie claimed that he had a solution to South Africa's energy woes and said if ailing power utility Eskom allowed him to assist, he could create 11,000MV of electricity in five months.
The Central Karoo mayor said his municipality, which has sun during the day and wind at night, was the best place to generate renewable energy.
McKenzie called for the government to be decisive and show some political will, claiming he could lead the effort and have the crisis sorted in 5 months.
South Africans react to Gayton McKenzie calling out President Cyril Ramaphosa
South Africans are doubtful that the government has a plan to end loadshedding.
Here's what people are saying:
@Leigh2DD asked:
"How is the Karoo solar project progressing?"
@alwaysaredd agreed:
"We have had enough of the speeches and appointments. They have no idea what they are doing."
@mzekebhaka10 suggested:
"Maybe Elon Musk can assist in this crisis because they are failing us."
@Mercs_007 claimed:
"Honestly, I think there is no plan. It's all a gimmick."
EFF unsatisfied with loadshedding meeting with Ramaphosa, claims doesn’t look like blackouts will end soon
In another story, Briefly News reported that the Economic Freedom Fighters came out of a virtual meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Eskom board deeply unsatisfied.
The party released a scathing statement after the meeting, claiming that a presentation made by President Ramaphosa, Eskom and the National Energy Crisis Committee indicated that the electricity crisis will not be solved within the next 24 months.
The Red Berets' assessment lies in stark contrast to Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana's promise that loadshedding would be a thing of the past in the next 12 to 18 months.
