Electricity crisis focus of African National Congress
South Africa’s ruling African National Congress party has started its crucial national conference amid scandal and bitter divisions.
South Africa’s crippling power cuts of more than 7 hours a day, an unemployment rate of 35 percent and corruption will be key issues debated, President Cyril Ramaphosa said on opening the conference Friday evening.
Addressing delegates, Ramaphosa admitted that his government was partly to blame for the country’s electricity crisis.
