Bosa leader Mmusi Maimane, adamant that reduced load shedding is just ruling party's electioneering tactic.Build One South Africa president Mmusi Maimane on Monday doubled down on predictions that load shedding will return after elections, offering a R1 000 bet.
He shared Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen’s sentiment that the undisturbed power supply was due to diesel burning.“Mr President with all due respect, load shedding is on leave until 30 May. You are burning billions in diesel for votes, to try to make South Africans forget that for the last six years, they have suffered daily from load shedding. Zanu PF vibes. How much have you spent on diesel?” Maimane said in a tweet.
Addressing the media at Kusile power station in Mpumalanga, the minister said the energy availability factor currently at 70.78% has reduced reliance on burning diesel. Although he did not mention anyone by name it was assumed that the minister was again taking a dig at Steenhuisen’s high school education when he said: “If you have not proceeded beyond matric and you have not done arithmetic your study, you can be a leader of a political party”.
