Eskom Appeal of Load Shedding Court Ruling Instead of Fixing Power Crisis is Outrageous
ActionSA is outraged that, at a time when South Africa’s public finances are under severe strain, the President, the Minister of Electricity, and Eskom (and other organs of state), have rather elected to apply for leave to appeal the landmark judgement handed down by the Full Bench of the North Gauteng High Court on 1 December 2023. This judgment declared load shedding unconstitutional and ordered the Minister of Electricity – together with organs of state – ensure that electricity supply be ensured for public schools, hospitals, and the SAPS.
