ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula says the newly created electricity ministry will not overlap with the responsibilities of the mineral resources and energy, and public enterprises departments. He said the governing party welcomed the new ministry, which will deal with the crippling energy crisis.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the new position in the presidency during his state of the nation address (Sona) on Thursday and said this was an intervention to end load shedding.
