Johannesburg - Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa must provide the country and Parliament with a comprehensive report on the state of Eskom, the Democratic Alliance said on Sunday.

DA Parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane said in a statement he had written to Ramaphosa requesting that Parliament be provided with an accurate comprehensive report on the maintenance needs of Eskom's power stations, the likelihood of a national blackout and the fortnightly briefing on the state of Eskom by Ramaphosa to the National Assembly.

"For the sake of public trust, these measures need to put in place until the crisis at Eskom has been remedied," Maimane said.
