The DA has called on theThekwini municipality to exempt some Durban suburbs from load-shedding after 40 hours without power.

The DA said in a statement on Sunday it requested an urgent meeting with the head of electricity Maxwell Mthembu and city manager Musa Mbhele.

“The purpose of this meeting is to find a long-term solution to what is clearly an ongoing electricity crisis in the city. This has caused pain and suffering for the residents, who must now dispose of food they have worked hard to obtain. “With the significant increase in electricity and food prices in South Africa continuing to rise and the city having no strategy for food replacement, there is a possibility that already suffering residents could face food insecurity.

“The city should immediately consider exempting Phoenix and other communities with weakened power infrastructure from load-shedding.”One resident said: “40 hours without electricity. It takes 40 hours to fix a cable fault. It took 24 hours to dig a trench. Weekends are supposed to be restful but if you live in Durban, it’s stressful. I am no longer angry or frustrated, I am just sad.

“All food is spoiled in the freezer and fridge. We are suffering. It’s heartbreaking, to see food thrown away and money wasted like that.”
