President Cyril Ramaphosa said a special cabinet task team has been established to deal with the Eskom crisis and provide him with reports daily on the State of the power grid and "what actions need to be taken to ensure energy supply". Responding to the debate on the State of the nation address, which saw opposition parties heavily criticise Ramaphosa and his African National Congress-led government for allowing the crisis to unfold over the past few years, the president said there was no "silver bullet" to solve the power utility's massive problems.
