'This is yet another desperate attempt by the failing ANC government to keep the lights on until election day,' says Natasha Mazzone.
Democratic Alliance Leader, Mmusi Maimane and DA Shadow Minister of Public Enterprises, Natasha Mazzone at Nkululeko House, Johannesburg, 25 March 2019. They briefed media about their day of action planned for the 29th March aimed at protesting the crisis at Eskom and their request that Parliament reconvenes to create an ad Hoc committee to plan the way forward regarding the Eskom crisis, as well as outlined plans that they have which they believe could help with this crisis.
The main opposition Democratic Alliance said on Tuesday the government and power company Eskom were blocking its demand for details of diesel deals for the struggling state-owned utility because there were “dodgy”. “The ANC’s secretive and lucrative diesel deals have been made carelessly, without fear or thought for future consequences,” DA shadow minister of public enterprises Natasha Mazzone said. “This is yet another desperate attempt by the failing ANC government to keep the lights on until election day.”
Several senior executives at state-owned entities including Eskom – which has struggled to meet electricity demand – have been implicated in the graft.
