The ANC said it was concerned that the latest round of load shedding could be deliberate actions for political ends by some linked to the power utility.
The party said it was concerned that the latest round of load shedding could be the result of deliberate actions for political ends by some linked to the power utility.
The governing party also highlighted concerns that the latest load shedding had kicked off on the first day of the matric exams. “The ANC is further concerned that the announcement made by Eskom coincides with the first day of final examinations of thousands of matriculants across the country who must have the opportunity to study and write their exams uninterrupted by power outages,” said ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe.
“To this extent, the ANC demands unequivocal answers on the current state of power supply. The mixed messages and lack of public transparency and accountability witnessed are a source of grave concern and suspicion. It is also a direct affront to the ANC’s commitment in our manifesto to ensure safe and reliable electricity supply to our communities,” Mabe said.
