'That ad hoc committee must do a number of things but crucially it must begin by passing the cheaper energy bill which will seek to break up Eskom into two separate entities.'

* urgently inquire into the circumstances surrounding a potentially imminent threat of the collapse of the national energy grid;* summon the relevant officials and ministers to account for the crisis and provide evidence for actions previously taken to prevent the current situation.

On Monday morning DA leader Mmusi Maimane, addressing journalists at the party's headquarters in Johannesburg, said the Eskom crisis was no longer the baby of the ANC-led government but that of the entire country. "If we are not careful, rating agencies like Moody's will downgrade us, which will make the already difficult situation we are in become impossible.

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. 😵

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.

He is the best man for the job The funny thing about this poll is that 100 anc members were polled. Only 60 of them said they would vote anc.
