The new electricity minister will report directly to President Cyril Ramaphosa and cabinet, and will only be tasked with dealing with the load-shedding crisis.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said the party's national executive committee supports the decision to appoint the new minister.
Eskom has implemented stage 6 load-shedding indefinitely.
The president had also announced that neighbouring countries are being approached to assist with the supply of electricity.
