ANC blasts Eskom for load shedding, suspects it is playing politics
Mabe’s statement follows comments earlier on Wednesday by party deputy secretary general Jessie Duarte, also blasting Eskom.
The ANC statement released by Mabe lamented the inconsistency shown by Eskom in implementing load shedding. The latest bout of load shedding is despite a commitment by the CEO of the utility, Andre de Ruyter to contain load shedding and ease disruption to power supply in mid-OctoberMabe said the timing of implementing stage 4 load shedding was a grave concern to them because it coincided with the first day of examinations for thousands of matriculants around the country.
He said matriculants must have the opportunity to study and write their final examination uninterrupted by power outages.Its spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said they are not going to comment on the ANC statement.Mabe accused the power utility of deliberately implementing load shedding to settle political scores, but without providing specifics on how and what politics it was playing.
