Cape Town - The Democratic Alliance is due to submit an application under the Promotion of Access to Information Act to force President Cyril Ramaphosa to release the findings of an Eskom probe by the Special Investigations Unit , DA member of Parliament Natasha Mazzone said on Friday."The findings of the four-year SIU investigation were purportedly handed to the Presidency in July 2017 and has been gathering dust on the presidential desk for two years.
The demand urged Ramaphosa to make public the findings after the weekend press reported that these suggested Eskom's long run of load shedding in 2008 was the result of "self-inflicted" coal shortage that then saw the utility sign emergency coal contracts worth more than R14 billion. Reportedly, some of these were 10-year deals, signed without due process, that only expired last year.
"This report will no doubt reveal the full extent of the coal contract rot within Eskom and provide a clean base from which South Africa can move forward, holding those implicated to account." Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan this week gave an undertaking that Eskom would until September at worst implement Stage 1 load shedding as the country enters the winter period when electricity demand traditionally rises.
That's the ONLY language ANC understand😴😴😴

Newsdeck: ‘Ramaphosa is running scared’ – DA on cancelled live debateThe DA has charged that President Cyril Ramaphosa's alleged refusal to participate in the much-anticipated Presidential Debates ahead of the May elections is a sign that he is 'running scared'. I doubt that. Maybe he has more important things to do (like run the country since he is the President, you seem to forget 🤔) than to listen to you rant about corruption in the Zuma years (stuck in the past) Bosasa links to OTHER people and ANC blaming... Like we know... ✌

DA gives Ramaphosa ultimatum to release SIU report on load sheddingThe DA says that it is giving President Cyril Ramaphosa until Friday to release the Special Investigating Unit report that found South Africa forked out R14.5 billion during the first round of rolling blackouts in 2008. He will hide behind cadres and legal processes to never release the full report. They need it because they have no campaigning strategies I think the DA need to remember that no-one owes them anything 🤐 they are only an opposing party... We know what the plans are and we see them initiated what more do they want? Without CyrilRamaphosa's investigations unit no-one would know about Bosasa 🤔
