The ANC spokesperson has criticised the utility for persistent load-shedding, saying South Africans should look to their own sustainable electricity supply
ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe has criticised Eskom for persistent load-shedding, saying South Africans should look to their own sustainable electricity supply.This comes as the country experiences various stages of load-shedding implemented by the embattled power utility.
He dismissed claims that ANC leaders were not experiencing load-shedding like the rest of the country. The ANC national executive committee noted “with grave concern” the energy crisis in the country and called for immediate interventions to alleviate the plight of South Africans, as well as the pursuit of longer-term systematic interventions to ensure sustainable energy security.
Among other things, it urged Eskom and the government to increase maintenance and improve existing supply, get proper skills and experienced mentors at the power utility, facilitate private investment in new-generation capacity and speed up the repurposing of power stations with alternative energy sources.Eskom said load-shedding would continue for the coming weeks, despite some generation units having been returned to service over the past few days.
