Load shedding should end this year, insists Mashatile
Deputy President Paul Mashatile has reiterated his belief that the government's plans will ensure an end to load shedding this year.
Mashatile insists the statement is not a political ploy ahead of the May elections but rather a reality drawing closer.
He delivered a lecture on 30 years of democracy at the University of Johannesburg on Tuesday morning.
He said the government will be introducing several energy-generating projects into the mainstream.

"There is a national plan to ensure load shedding is ended this year. I know you don't believe me.
“They think I am electioneering, but it is true. That is why I am not saying it will end before the elections. I am saying this year. The minister of electricity has been working very hard."
