ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula on Monday backtracked on his claim that load-shedding would end next month. A few months ago, on several occasions, Mbalula was adamant load-shedding would end by December.
In January, during the ANC’s 111th anniversary celebrations, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced five “urgent priorities to put citizens first”. These included eradicating corruption, ending load-shedding, expropriating land and building an inclusive economy.
Last week Eskom announced the implementation of stage 6 load-shedding, blaming depleted emergency reserves.
