Western Cape premier Alan Winde wants an audience with President Cyril Ramaphosa after he failed to respond to his letter calling for a national state of disaster to be declared in the face of South Africa's deepening energy crisis.

Last week the Western Cape MEC for education Debbie Schäfer resigned after serving eight years in this position.

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde says he is confident that this new cabinet and new portfolios is just what the province's around seven million citizens need.
