The Department received a letter from Mabuza Attorneys demanding that the Department and Eskom make certain undertakings regarding loadshedding and the 18,65 % tariff increase granted by NERSA.
The Department is still considering the letter and seeking legal advice on the matter and will respond in due course.
We want to assure the public that everything possible is being done to end or minimize loadshedding.
However, those who are a part of corruption, intimidation and abuse of procurement practices or obstruct government’s efforts to clean up each power station of such corruption, will face the full might of the law.
All South Africans must unite to eliminate this corruption. At the same time, Eskom is in the process of finalising its plans to take further urgent steps to stabilize the power station’s performance and reliability.
