"There was talk about a declaration of a national state of disaster like what we did when we faced Covid-19 and there is broad agreement that we should move in that direction,” Ramaphosa said on Monday evening.He said the party's leaders acknowledge that plans to end load shedding must be rolled out sooner, rather than later.
South Africans have had to grapple with an inconsistent power supply since the end of last year, with stage 4 load shedding in place until further notice. “Work is already underway within government to establish whether the legal requirement for the declaration of the national state of disaster are met and what specific actions we will be empowered to undertake to urgently resolve load shedding within the framework of the national state of disaster,” Ramaphosa said.
