CAPE TOWN - With no load shedding planned for this week, the Democratic Alliance is steamrolling ahead with a petition to force the national government to implement emergency plans to fix Eskom. In its plan to save Eskom the DA said: "Independent Power Producers must be allowed to sell power to the grid immediately."The party’s Western Cape Premier candidate Alan Winde hoisted the party’s s latest election poster in the city centre.
He said: “If you have got this massive debt hanging on you and you don’t bring money in to cover the debt, then you’re in big trouble. I don’t want to see Eskom go away, I want to see Eskom survive.” The DA is calling on government to instruct PetroSA to supply tax-free diesel to Eskom. It also wants municipalities to install power meters in an effort to better collect revenue.
How many do you all own? Our President had to answer for his brother in laws IPP company. So how many are the DA link to? How much money are you going to make using the President's idea of IPP's? 🤔🤔 These people make me sick. 😵
I agree with this.Also make it possible for a regular homeowner who has solar in their home to feed some of that power to the national grid and get credited by the municipality based on how much power they put back in the grid. I think with enough homes like this we will be fine.

OPINIONISTA: The DA is the only party that can fix the Eskom messAs the country has once again been plunged into darkness as a result of ANC mismanagement and corruption at Eskom, it becomes clearer that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s ANC has no intention of bringing about real change. Moody’s is scheduled to make a decision on South Africa’s credit rating on 29 March. A downgrade is looking increasingly likely. Natasha9Mazzone 😂😂😂😂😂 Natasha9Mazzone You can't even fix Helen zile 😱 Natasha9Mazzone Yes I agree by privation and take responsibility off the state.
