Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe believes the country’s energy crisis and loadshedding can be resolved within the next six to 12 months.

Trade union federation Cosatu says it wants Andre de Ruyter to stay at the helm of Eskom as CEO until a suitable replacement can be found to be his successor.

The calls for a national shutdown in response to increasing stages of loadshedding have intensified across South Africa, signalling that citizens are fed up.

Vincent Magwenya, the spokesperson of the Presidency said President Cyril Ramaphosa deeply regrets loadshedding in SA which sparked fury from many citizens.

An electricity protest by Emalahleni residents turned violent when angry community members burned four trucks, two bakkies and pelted other cars with stones.

The Economic Freedom Fighters has welcomed the ANC government's decision to move ailing power utility, Eskom, to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced his plans for the department of energy to take over the management of the embattled state-owned power enterprise, Eskom.

CEO of Eskom Andre De Ruyter said a day after he resigned, he had his coffee laced with cyanide, leading him to experience dizziness, weakness and confusion.

Gwede Mantashe said he's not a coal fundamentalist and is open-minded about the energy issues facing the country. SA disagreed and said he's not a thinker.
