Maimane vows to continue legal battle against load shedding
With the government struggling to ensure a reliable supply of two of the most essential services, opposition parties have been critical and sharing how they believe the problems can be solved.
Build One South Africa says it won't give up on efforts to hold the government accountable for the load-shedding crisis.
In December, the High Court in Pretoria ordered the minister of electricity to ensure public institutions, such as hospitals, clinics, public schools and police stations, are exempt from load shedding.
The court set a deadline of 31 January.
But the Department of Public Enterprises lodged an urgent appeal against the ruling.
BOSA, together with the UDM, IFP, ActionSA, and the National Union of Mineworkers, were some of the applicants.
BOSA leader, Mmusi Maimane, says the party will take legal steps to ensure the government adheres to the court order.
"We will not continue with this load shedding. Since the second half of 2007, load shedding today is also allowed to vote – it’s that old. Because load shedding has been carrying on in our country for so long."
