President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa is embarking on a new trajectory of self-generation of energy.
This comes amid major concerns about the capacity of Eskom and calls for homes and businesses to be allowed to embark on self-generation using solar and other renewable sources.

The focus of the Indaba will include energy security, the structure of the economy and the fourth industrial revolution.
