The South African economy showed limited growth in 2023, expanding by 0.6% compared to 1.9% in 2022, due in part to logistical challenges at Transnet affecting exports and a concerning energy crisis leading to frequent power cuts. These issues are expected to influence the outcome of the upcoming general election in May. James Mackay, Executive Chairman of the Energy Council of South Africa, discussed the country's energy crisis in Johannesburg.
