This judgment, issued in December 2023 by the same court, had concluded that load shedding constituted a violation of constitutional rights. “What is not in doubt is the fact that there is a need for us to ensure that the identified critical public spaces or institutions required an uninterrupted power supply for them to be able to provide the kind of services that are envisaged in the Constitution.

The minister suggested that providing alternative power sources to the institution might pose financial and practical challenges in the long run.
