ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba says the ANC-run city of Joburg prioritised electioneering when it promised residents zero load shedding at the weekend. File photo.ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has accused City of Joburg mayor Mpho Moerane of electioneering at the weekend by promising residents zero load-shedding, only to backtrack on his promise.
Mashaba said this could not have happened at a better time as it reminds voters ahead of the local government elections on November 1 that the ANC is capable of making false promises rather than delivering basic services, a pattern it has maintained for years.
Mashaba added that if ActionSA emerged victorious after the election, it would fix the energy crisis by enabling independent power producers to supply electricity to the Johannesburg grid so residents become less reliant on Eskom. “While we work on becoming independent from Eskom, we will stabilise our electricity infrastructure by increasing the budget available for repairs and maintenance and investing in new and upgraded infrastructure,” he said.
Only Johannesburg?
So those IPP's have their own distribution network? Electricity business is not hair products.
The only Party that makes sense in South Africa right now ✅.... my Blood is Green and white 💚🤍💚🤍💚 actionsa hermanmashaba I want a bright future for my kids... let's all Vote for Actionsa
Nwabiso_ Eskom currently charges R200 for 33 units KWh, how much will independent power supplies will charge? Already electricity is unaffordable 🤔🤔 independent power supply will not solve the problem but make it worse and another tool for monopoly capital and enriching minorities 💯
Once and for all
This one is a sellout.
HermanMashaba So ActionSa only cares about Jhb What about the rest of SA?
Oddly he didn’t do this when he was mayor
