In a joint statement on Monday, the applicants announced that Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba directed that the legal case be heard from 20 March 2023 to 24 March 2023 by a full court of the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
The case is divided into two parts. Part A is for interim relief and Part B is for final relief sought by the litigants.In Part A, they argue that load shedding has become a pressing human rights concern and government’s response to the power cuts has undermined the fundamental rights of citizens. “The applicants further argue that bearing in mind that load shedding is not an inevitable fact of history, like Covid-19, but has been directly caused by deliberate state action, negligence of the state, and general disregard to the obligations of the state under the Constitution, there is an obligation on the state to alleviate the human suffering, which has been caused by load shedding,” read the applicants’ joint statement.
