Several organisations in South Africa are threatening to take Eskom to court over the impact of frequent load-shedding and the utility’s failure to provide a comprehensive plan to address the rotational power cuts.Prominent parties considering legal action against the utility include the Solidarity Movement and one of the country’s most prolific legal minds, advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi.
Ngcukaitobi told Rapport that the utility had a constitutional duty to provide reliable electricity to the country and claimed South Africans were being kept in the dark about the real reasons for the power cuts. It argues that the utility would not have to ask for tariff hikes if it did not have to abide by these regulations, which essentially cause the power utility to procure through middlemen rather than from suppliers directly.a court application in collaboration with Agri North-West, TLU SA, and several businesses over targeted load reduction on various feeder lines across South Africa.
“In the process, several paying end-users’ electricity supply is often terminated for hours on end,” said Sakeliga.
Eskom will NEVER EVER EVER be operational EVER again 🤬🙌
Anything involving Bantu Holomisa is doomed to fail.
Eskom is broken. It cannot be fixed in the next 15 years. We need other players in the field and individuals to have cheap (subsidized) access to solar.
