The meeting took place at Megawatt Park, Eskom's headquarters in Sunninghill, north of Johannesburg on Saturday. 

 

It followed the president's oversight visit to the Tutuka Power Station in Mpumalanga province. 

 

He was there to understand the challenges around the plant's generation fleet.

 

Ramaphosa says corruption, theft and sabotage are its biggest setbacks. 

 

He says teams there are working to address the issues and return its functionality.

 

"They are doing as much as they possibly can - dealing with big machines, equipment that they have to streamline the energy that we need."
