South Africa: Mozambique Asks Why South Africa Has Not Taken Up Electricity Offer

Mozambique 'Frustrated' At Lack of Action on Electricity

In an exclusive report, Qaanitah Hunter writes for News24 that the Mozambican government wants answers from President Cyril Ramaphosa's administration as to why there has been no movement from Eskom on the 100MW of electricity that the country agreed to give South Africa to help alleviate load shedding. News24 understands that the Mozambican energy minister, Carlos Zacarias, has expressed his frustration. Three months ago, the South African government signed an agreement that would see South Africa urgently procure power from Mozambique to halt rolling blackouts. But, according to two sources privy to discussions, the Mozambican government says nothing has been done since the public announcement.
