“Due to the current energy crisis, President @CyrilRamaphosa has canceled his working visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos,” Vincent Magwenya tweeted on Sunday. Ramaphosa is expected to meet with the leaders of the main political parties as well as the National Energy Crisis Committee and the board of state energy company Eskom, Africa’s largest electricity company. Eskom introduced energy rationing in November to reduce energy consumption after seeing energy prices soar amid the West’s standoff with Russia over Ukraine. Energy supply will be on the agenda of the Davos summit, organized by Switzerland from January 16 to 20. The theme of the next meeting of the Davos Forum is “Cooperation in a fragmented world”. The Forum’s agenda is devoted to public-private partnerships to solve the world’s most pressing problems and encourages world leaders to work together on energy, climate and trade issues.
