JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance has called on Parliament to urgently reconvene and come up with measures to address the current electricity crisis.

The DA has announced a national day of action for Friday, as the price of electricity increases by just over 9.4%.

DA leader Mmusi Maimane said Parliament needs to come up with a national plan to avert a national blackout. DA Shadow Minister for Public Enterprises Natasha Mazzone said: “We had a weak economy and Eskom’s crisis is adding a burden to the economy. It is clear that there are no clear plans to fix this mess at any levels of government, from the president to the Minister of Public Enterprise to people at Eskom.”

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.

DA on Eskom crisis: IPPs must be allowed to sell power to the grid immediatelyThe DA’s petition is also demanding that Independent Power Producers feed power into the national power grid. 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. 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. 😵

Ramaphosa owes South Africans an explanation on Eskom crisis - DAEskom has been struggling to keep the lights on as it battles a R420 billion debt burden, capacity issues and serious allegations of corruption. Don't hold your breath It’s our collective responsibility to explain. He's already explained that we're all to blame and we must all fix it together. What else do you want him to tell us? I mean, he was so surprised with the load-shedding, how could he possibly know more?

WATCH: Mmusi Maimane vows ANC will be defeated like apartheid | IOL NewsThe DA will defeat the ANC just as apartheid was defeated, DA leader MmusiMaimane said. As for “Just as”.....dearest MmusiMaimane , the failings of the ANC are nothing near to the atrocities of the Apartheid Gov. Defeating the ANC would not be equitable to defeating a regime that destroyed generations and resulted in the likes of you being used as window-dressers. 😂😂 🤣🤣🤣🏃🏃🏃
