African National Congress (ANC) President Cyril Ramaphosa on Friday announced that the party is strongly considering the establishment of a second State-owned power utility to reduce the risk posed by Eskom’s failings. Ramaphosa, who gave the ANC’s message of support on the third day of the South African Communist Party’s elective congress, said the proposal was initially made by Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe after the power utility plunged the country into stage six load-shedding.
