Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa serves as Electricity and Energy minister (ANC). This tracker shows 2025/26 gazetted Minister package reference of R2 792 155 per year — R232 680 per month equivalent, effective 1 April 2025. This role reference does not establish the exact package effective from 1 April 2026. A Presidency statement dated 20 January 2026 says a 3.8% National Executive increase takes effect from 1 April 2026; Gazette 53965 itself states 1 April 2025. M4 checked the current Remuneration Commission determination and recommendation libraries, which remain labelled 2025-26 and expose no 2026/27 Executive schedule. Odyssey therefore keeps the exact 2026-effective package unresolved, does not calculate it from 3.8%, and does not assume either official date is a typo. This profile retains a legacy Odyssey A-F scorecard for editorial context, but M3 does not re-certify that grade as a current performance rating. 2 of 3 KPI snapshots are directly reconciled to primary sources; the remaining KPI values and the legacy budget-spend field remain review-required.

Official gazette · effective 1 April 2025 ↗Presidency announcement: +3.8% from 1 April 2026. M4 found no 2026/27 National Executive determination or recommendation in the checked Commission libraries, so the exact updated package remains pending source reconciliation in Odyssey; it is not derived by arithmetic.
M4 source-cycle status: official-cycle-conflict-no-2026-27-schedule-found
No exact 2026-effective Minister, Deputy President or Deputy Minister package is published by Odyssey from this check. The known 3.8% announcement is shown separately from the exact 2025/26 Gazette schedule.
A
Legacy Odyssey Scorecard · Grade A · evidence review
Grade retained as editorial history; M3 does not translate it into a salary “value for money” verdict.
Odyssey's A-F grades are legacy editorial syntheses, not official government ratings and not re-certified by M3. M3 separates direct primary-source KPI snapshots from legacy unreconciled values; unreconciled targets, traffic lights, budget-spend rates, achievements and failures must not be read as current verified facts.
Ended load shedding after 15 years. Grid stability restored, new generation capacity accelerated.
Key Performance Indicators
Days without load sheddingReview required Comparison basis
No same-period minister-level target reconciled in M3
Source-dated actual
427 consecutive days as of 16 July 2026
Evidence: direct primary snapshot · 16 July 2026 snapshot. The 427-day figure is directly reported by Eskom. M3 does not preserve the old 180-day benchmark as an official minister target, so no pass/fail traffic light is assigned.
New generation capacity procuredReview required Legacy target · unreconciled
5,000 MW by 2025
Legacy stored value · unreconciled
6,200 MW under construction
Evidence: legacy citation/value not reconciled in M3.
Eskom Energy Availability FactorReview required Comparison basis
No same-period minister-level target reconciled in M3
Source-dated actual
~65.35% for FY2025/26
Evidence: direct primary snapshot · FY2025/26 through 31 March 2026. Eskom reports the FY2025/26 EAF at approximately 65.35%. The former 65% scorecard target was not reconciled to a same-period ministerial KPI in M3.
Legacy editorial positives
✓500+ days without load shedding — longest streak since 2007
✓Fast-tracked 6,200 MW of new generation capacity via REIPPP and gas
✓Negotiated Eskom debt-relief framework with National Treasury
Legacy editorial concerns
✗Eskom plant availability still below 65% target
✗Coal-to-renewable transition timeline slipping
Legacy budget-spend field
Numeric spend rate not rendered in M3 because the stored percentage has not been reconciled to a direct expenditure record. Legacy source label: National Treasury Vote 34, 2024/25.
Remuneration uses the source-bounded 2025/26 Gazette reference described above. Legacy Odyssey scorecards are editorial and under evidence review; only KPI rows labelled direct primary snapshot were reconciled in M3. Unreconciled budget-spend percentages are not rendered.
