" "The reality is that we are dealing with the legacy of Apartheid. The economy of Apartheid was racially skewed and structured to take care of the minority, not the majority of the country. Everything you look at, be [it] the infrastructure, or energy, or economic [...], it was all based on wrong and distorted ideology. When commentators comment on this matter of [...] energy, they forget this and want to put the blame to a democratic government. ... before 1994 there was a wrong belief that energy in South Africa was in abundance, ... It was a mistaken view. It was because energy was made to serve a few. Immediately after 1994 when we had to grow the economy to the size of the population, ... when we had to implement the constitution ... and therefore rolled out [...] electricity to the remotest areas of this country, suddenly we realised we don't have enough energy ..., because we're now applying energy not in a false belief, but to [the] reality of the demand of the country.

About Jacob Zuma
Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma (born 12 April 1942) GCB was the 5th President of South Africa, elected by parliament following the African National Congress's victory in the 2009 general election. He had previously served as Deputy President under Thabo Mbeki, and had replaced Mbeki as leader of the ANC in 2007 on a left-wing populist platform. Although many of his pledged policies were not implemented, he was re-elected in the 2014 election. However, in 2018 he was impeached for corruption and state capture. He was later arrested in July 2021 for failing to appear in court. His presidency has also been blamed for ongoing economic and energy crises.
