South Africa is on its third consecutive day of no load shedding, and according to many, it’s all thanks to the Minister of Electricity, Kgosiento “Sputla” Ramakgopa.

But does the former Tshwane mayor’s sense of fashion have anything to do with it?

SPUTLA SEEN IN QUIRKY SLOGAN TEE

Earlier this week, the Minister of Electricity kicked off his 10-day tour of Eskom’s power stations with a casual, yet totally appropriate fashion look. The qualified engineer wore a black T-shirt, which he paired with denim jeans and a pair of sneakers.

But it was his slogan tee that had his Twitter following giving his work the thumbs up. Across his T-shirt was a picture of a power plant with the words “searching for light.”

And it seems Sputla may have found the light after all after Eskom surprisingly suspended load shedding for another day.

According to Kgosientso, he is taking his role of tackling SA’s energy crisis very seriously. He told Newzroom Afrika on Tuesday: “This is not a typical politician wearing a suit. It’s an engineer engaging in robust discussions with other engineers on technical issues.”
