Presidency response to DA allegations against Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa’s work on the Eskom War Room

Cape Town - The Presidency has noted comments by the DA’s Pieter Van Dalen questioning the role of Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa in leading the Eskom War Room.

Deputy President Ramaphosa was appointed by Cabinet to lead an Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) to address electricity challenges facing the country.

Deputy President Ramaphosa’s work in the Eskom War Room is guided by none other than Cabinet’s five- point plan.

The Office of Deputy President reiterates that Deputy President Ramaphosa has divested his financial interests in the Shanduka Group following his assumption of office. Consequently, Deputy President Ramaphosa holds no mining interests.
