Cabinet would discuss the country's electricity supply crisis at its lekgotla this week, government spokesman Themba Maseko said on Tuesday.

He said Eskom chief executive Jacob Maroga briefed a routine Cabinet meeting earlier in the day on the state of power supply. "The impact of load-shedding on the economy, citizens and the country's image is regretted," Maseko told reporters after the meeting in Pretoria.

"Government gives the assurance that everything is being done at the highest level of government, Eskom and key stakeholders to find an inclusive solution to the energy problem in the short, medium and long term."

Maseko said the energy crisis was one of the major priorities to be discussed at this week's lekgotla. "The strategy for dealing with the electricity supply shortage will be discussed in detail by the lekgotla and an announcement will be made after the meeting."
