While South Africans have been struggling with deliberate power cuts under the failing state-owned entity Eskom, Williams has also made it clear that ministers and deputy minister are also not exempt from rolling blackouts.
“On the load shedding, we also like to assure South Africans that the inconvenience that was experienced by everybody also affected the members of the executive in the accommodation that they were occupying.” “The only exemptions that were made were with the mines that were supplying Eskom with coal at the time. Also, the seat of government which is the Union Buildings and Parliament were exempted during this time,” Williams said.
