During a visit to Eskom's offices in Johannesburg on Friday, President Jacob Zuma was asked whether Nkandla ever had loadshedding. Watch his response.

 

 

Friday's visit to the power facility's offices in Sunninghill's Megawatt Park comes as Zuma announced during his 2016 State of the Nation Address that government will provide support to state-owned companies while also implementing the reforms that would make them more effective in delivering on their mandates.

Zuma said he was happy to get a presentation from Eskom.

"It was a big worry for me when load shedding was happening. I for one I believe that it was impossible that you can have load shedding and not have remedy to it. I believe that the decisions that were taken were correct. Eskom's CEO told me that there will never be a load shedding here‚" said Zuma.

Zuma said everyone in the country needed to work together in order to reach prosperity.

"Eskom is no longer in the news for negative reasons but positive. We thank you Eskom for the hard work. People will no longer complain about their food getting rotten and that and that‚" said Zuma.
