A video shared on social media shows a power outage occurring during Fikile Mbalula's speech about South Africa's power crisis at an ANC Energy Dialogue at the University of Johannesburg.
The ANC gathered stakeholders for a diagnosis of the problems at Eskom and efforts towards immediate workable solutions to solve South Africa's power crisis.
While ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula addressed attendees at the conference, loadshedding was implemented, leaving the ANC member in darkness.
