The UDM's Nqabayomzi Kwankwa said the ANC and Eskom had 'reached unparalleled levels of incompetence and maladministration'.
"In this light, the president should swiftly postpone his upcoming international trip to Egypt, scheduled for December 10. There is severe trouble at home, and Ramaphosa must attend to that ahead of all other engagements.""The announcement of stage 6 rolling blackouts for the first time in our history is a strong signal that Eskom is on its knees. The time for dithering is over: we demand the president urgently provides the nation with a full report.
Kwankwa was also critical of the timing of load-shedding."This also comes across as an attempt by this government to blackmail into agreeing to its planned unbundling and privatisation of Eskom," he said.
