The DA says it is working on making six municipalities it runs in the Western Cape “load-shedding proof”.

This is one of the promises the party made in its manifesto launched by party leader John Steenhuisen during a virtual event on Saturday.

“These municipalities are putting in place measures that will enable them to procure electricity directly from suppliers and ultimately end their reliance on Eskom altogether.” It said the innovation by the city mitigates the economic impact and inconvenience of load-shedding and saves on the cost of buying electricity at peak rates. It said the party now wants to reduce reliance from Eskom in six other municipalities - Stellenbosch, Drakenstein, Mossel Bay, Overstrand, Saldanha Bay and Swartland.
