South Africa's Power Crisis 'Might Likely Get Dire': Minister

South Africa's power crisis "might likely get dire before it gets better," according to newly appointed electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa. "We have to be deliberate about our interventions, be very transparent to business and to the general public about the work that we're doing," Ramokgopa said in an interview with Bloomberg's Jennifer Zabasajja. Amid record outages, the government has given assurances that the electricity grid won't be allowed to collapse. Yet increasing numbers of businesses are preparing for that very eventuality.
