‘The ANC’s scheme of burning through billions of rands of diesel…to keep the lights on until after election day has now truly backfired,’ she said.
Last month, the country experienced just over a week of stage four load shedding, leaving much of South Africa without power for several hours at a time. “The truth is that the failing ANC government has no political will or durable plans to fix the broken power entity which has been hollowed out by decades of mismanagement and corruption.
Instead of restructuring and unbundling Eskom to make it operationally and financially viable, said Mazzone, the ANC placed the interests of their trade union allies above those of South Africans who desperately needed the lights to stay on.
