The party says billions of rand allocated to departments and municipalities are not being spent and should be shifted to Eskom, which is mired in debt of about R400bn.
In his 2022 budget speech, finance minister Enoch Godongwana said government departments declared they underspent at least R6.1bn, “with further underspending of R4.3bn projected for 2021/22”.
Giving an update on outcomes of marathon national executive committee meetings, ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said there is consensus that more financial resources are required for Eskom to better deal with the crisis. This forms part of the ANC’s grand plan to push government to end load-shedding by the end of the year.
