Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe has doubled down on his characterisation of the proposed Minister of Electricity as that of a project manager but has denied that such a portrayal reduces the authority of the appointee. In a speech made in response to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address, in which the President announced that a new Minister of Electricity in The Presidency would be appointed as part of efforts to accelerate the implementation of the Energy Action Plan announced last year to tackle loadshedding, Mantashe argued that a project management approach emphasised “urgency of execution and delivery”.
