Eskom killed us heavily – Mbalula says as guns come out for Gordan: Detractors of Minister Pravin Gordhan are expected to use the recent rounds of blackouts said to have affected the ANC’s election results as a launching pad to call for his removal
said Eskom had contributed to the negative mood in the country and to an anti-ANC sentiment.
While Mbalula did not attribute all the blame for the ANC’s performance to load-shedding, he said the party’s supporters were demoralised from going out to vote when Eskom implemented stage four load shedding just days before the election. Mbalula however conceded that some of the negative sentiment that worked against the ANC stemmed from power outages and water shortages unrelated to the rolling blackouts.
