Court dismisses government and Eskom’s appeal against load shedding judgment

has been dealt a blow after the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria dismissed the parastatal, government and Electricity Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramakgopa’s leave to appeal against the Load shedding judgment.The case was brought by various political parties including the United Democratic Movement , Democratic Alliance , Action SA and civil society organisations.

“Whilst the national energy crisis is of national interest, the ‘humanitarian relief’ granted is to address the rights of a small, albeit vulnerable and important, set of segments of society. The EAP being the Government’s response to the crisis and everything else that goes with it, which may be of wider public interest, has been left untouched by this court’s order.

They said while selected paragraphs of that judgment were relied on, the judgment does not support Eskom’s argument.
