Steenhuisen says the party is tired of the empty promises made by the President and has urged South Africans to join the party’s march to Luthuli House.unbundling Eskom and privatising most of it
, opening the electricity market to private competition, bringing in skilled engineers, and exempting Eskom and other energy producers from all cumbersome localization and BEE rules. “Households are battling to put food on the table. Businesses are struggling to pay their staff. Stage 6 load shedding is costing South Africa between R4 billion and R6 billion per day. We do not accept that while the ANC is subjecting ordinary South Africans to 11 hours of load shedding per day, the residences of the President, his cabinet ministers and his deputy ministers get no load-shedding at all.
I can announce that the DA is organising a major protest march to the ANC headquarters at Luthuli House in Johannesburg on 25 January against the ANC-engineered electricity crisis. Stage 6 load shedding has taken away your power. It is time to take away the ANC’s.
Meanwhile, with the country still struggling to grapple with the high cost of living, and unemployment, the opposition parties say the recent electricity hike will exacerbate the dire conditions in South Africa.Reacting to the electricity hike, Presidential spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya says the President deeply regrets the national energy crisis that has plunged the country into Stage 6 rolling blackouts.

We not coming go there alone.
I think marches are just there to pacify supporters, I don't think they achieve mush. I asked the same question last week. What about a public debate, on tv or so.
Yes we go and protest and after that what? Will the problem be solve after 5 working days after that?
Why march. Go to megawhatt park or Pravin Gordons office or house. Why does neigbouring countries getting cheaper elec from us AND dont have loadshedding? Escom con us. Stop elec supply and when put back on everything absorbs more elec at startup. Think about it. They milk us.
Why Luthuli House? Why not the Union Buildings. This is a government issue NOT JUST ANC. Not all cabinet Ministers are ANC! Come on DA I support this but really, put some thought in it.
jsteenhuisen TSEK
Whose Fooling Who here. You and your racist white counterparts support Ramaphosa who happens to be using useless ANC to drive a WMC Agenda. Or and White and Indian Excellence Du Ruyte and Jamnandas Gordhan 😏🚮
That is stupid if you ask me
Since when is Luthuli House Eskom or govt...These opportunistic racists must march to Union Buildings where their puppet sits,MegaWatt Park where de ruyter works or wherever pravin is...As much as we're against ramaphosa and loadshedding they must stay away from Luthuli House
Union building is the place to go
The DA has best plans yet poor execution order why fo to Lithuli house...why not union building or eskom offices are we protesting ANC or Eskom
Wonder how many whites will be there
Do a poll to check how we feel about the foolish call
Finally
sorry sir, we have to work - so we can pay for the electricity we don't have...
That is Malema s department, waiting for him😎
And then this follows 👇🏻
🤣🤣Damn this people will never sell one of their own out.
Apparently there was a March in Kroonstad. I missed it. But I would love to join all the marchs I can. I have lost 2 really bad jobs because of loadshedding. I can't even afford to live anymore. R350 is not enough.
Bafun' indvuku!
Take GwedeMantashe1 outside and publicly flog him.
Ba re nyela. They must March to union building. They know where their servant is
The DA is aiming the March at the wrong target
WTF for? Quit pissing around and start a tax revolt or shut up and accept the shit you being dealt, ANC only leave when cash runs out to pay SASSA grants😉
Why there should be provocation when DA march to head offices of a governing party that fought & stand for democratic rights & free speech..let them match it's a free country unless ANC has been infiltrated by undemocratic tendencies & rascals & thugs that are violent by nature
Marching to Luthuli House not wise. High potential for conflict. Rather March to Megawatt Park.
Never, you are paranoid. Don't tell others what to do. We all have our own minds. Why not work together than against each other. Whites had left this like this
March to Eskom Nina zinja
DA loves to di*ck ride ANC doesn own Asskom
John o bolaya ke nyanyaza
What a twart! You want to hold someone accountable? March to the president and minister Jamnandas or big stomach Mantashe. jsteenhuisen you are just acting and people should not take you seriously.
We are not going there
People are in need of electricity DA is playing political games with people's problem
You are a disgrace johnsteenhuisen you failed to hold a confessed PhalaPhalaFarmGate criminal on Sec89, now you want us to join you on these nonsensical March Udakiwe!. Thina we fetching Firewood for Our Masses, that is the Only way to Fight Loadshedding!.
I can help them only if they can agree to help us blacks to get rid of illegal immigrants, failure to do so meaning no help from us OperationDudula PatriotsUnite
We finished our leave days John.
Yoh hai ngeke sizwe ngapaba, they will march alone, as South Africans we are busy
The Uneducated One is a hypocrite. His racist DA protested against a black Molefe at Eskom but will not do the same against white De Ruyter who's responsible for Stage6loadshedding. VoetsekDA racism eNCA MorningLiveSABC EFFSouthAfrica SkeemSaam LeanneManas SakinaKamwendo
Whites are on the offensive, they don't want to march to Megawatt, because the CEO is white. Their march is not genuine, it's meant to pressurize for the privatization of Eskom, just like Ramaphosa and the ANC the script is to privatize eskom and sell to these whites.
Fok John🤣🤣🤣🤣
They must learn to support other parties
I will join if they march to Eskom offices
😂😂😂😂😂
We hve been marching since land was stolen alone, so they might as well do it alone
A river reaches its goal, however a river of marchers usually gets tired and disperses before it reaches its goal🙄
Bad idea
I'm a bit confused, all successes are attributed Ramaphosa and failures to ANC, whereas during Zuma's tenure it was the other way around. Double standards here are served on a platter
Why are you promoting this? I hope the DA atleast paid for this advertising. They have the money.
They're in this together to collapse ANC. Today the problem is a ruling not Ramaphosa, while during Zuma's time it JZ that needed to be ousted.
Aibo
This country is too free, for everyone to do as they please. Why mobilize a march to another political party, when you have all the time & platforms to engage & debate on issues. This is just a political smear campaign
Eskom is in charge of the power supply in this country not Luthuli House.
I want to be at Luthuli House to receive them POLITELY
DA se MOER 💩💩💩
He must forget
There they go again, the demonic alliance is out with smoke and mirrors again. apartheid cannot be reformed. They must just - tsek!
I wish to see that happen 🤣😂🤣 I will be fireworks
No we will join on issues of illegal foreigners
The real march should be to Eskom and the respective government ministries for Eskom's operation, ie Minerals & Energy and Public Affairs but apparently more the former than the latter of the 2 stated government departments.
The march should head straight to Eskom. That useless CEO should get the stick. Brian Molefe was streets ahead of Andre Deryter.
I still remember those tannies doing the “Zuma out” dance…we look forward to seeing similar footage 🤣😂😅
The march must go to union building where their puppet is.
All South Africans?
We will never forget
As long it's DA led am not going this is just politics they're not genuine about this energy crisis if they were serious they were going to turn their attention to Union building where the Gang leader is...DA is so toxic&racist i just don't want anything to do with them.
Why wait so long, this must be done now 😡
Tell you tucken white CEO to turn things around and leave luthuli house alone
I hate ANC right now, but I also hate these racists more. I wish I cud protect Luthuli house against these racists why are they going to Luthuli instead of Eskom.
Just because one of their own is failing to turn around Eskom.
We will go and defend our offices, u dare try....
Why they are not going to eskom
Everyone complains about the DA march, ignoring the facts, this is the only party trying to do something about loadshedding. Cape town experienced less loadshedding than other city. Soon it will be the whole WC!! LITERALLY, everyone else just sits at home doing nothing!
DA does not join other political parties when they protest. It's a NO from me.
DA stance on PP is telling into why they are marching to loothuli house,John has already said he can work well with cyril.
Ba gafa
Agreed, this hike is a joke, Mr president himself said alot his hands are tied and now on the news many power boxes in our homes are getting more damage.
hoe soentoe en nie eskom toe nie om dat andre wit is
The same DA that refuses to admit that Andre DeRyter was a total failure and collapsed Eskom... Want us to march with them to Luthuli house .. for what?
The protest is just like protesting for pay rise without thinking if how inflation can be trapped
Is Luthuli house government offices?
Separation of powers!
Wrong address boy
Once again it's becoming clear. Media houses have been given a brief that they should drum-up DA's March to Luthuli... PR Firms pushing PR Campaigns to drive a particular NARRATIVE!
The eskom CEO is white,they won't march to eskom bcz he's one of their own. But see clever blacks wena.theyll march to Lithuli
No thanks
We will be waiting for them
Why in Luthuli and not Megawatt Park?
How are we supposed to get there to march? Fly on brooms?
I'm not huge fan of this party but I'm supporting them in the Eskom issue but not to Luthuli
Akatshele abangani bakhe🚮
We’re not gonna do that.. there’s Union Buildings
Forget racism, let's allow whites to handle this one. I want to see something
Why is DA leadership so hypocrite! So they avoid Union Building bcoz Cyril is in that office to march at Luthuli House! RamaphosaMustFall and RamaphosaWillFall
Please can they take brooms and garbage bags...Luthuli house does same and we have a clean the city and country standoff...anything else is just provocation and grand standing.
Why going to Luthuli house?
Until as SAfricans🇿🇦we TACKLE the real pandemic than symptoms,our challenges wil remain even after SWEATS on marches!COAL IS TRANSPORTED TO OVERSEAS,KNOWN TRUCK OWNERS SIGNED DEALS F BILLIONS OF RANDS,some r calling for NATIONAL SHUTDOWN,but the nation to March opposite direction
They have to March to union building then I will join them but Luthile house nooooo,I don't want hurt by ANC hooligans
JHB CBD is no joke, nizokhuthuzwa laphaya
They rather blame black people than the white CEO at eskom
The majority will be unemployed black people 😂😂😂
Asizi shame when we called upon Sans to join us in protest against the useless De Reytar and the mess he is creating at Eskom y'all never showed up.
Fusek
Fuck NO.
Lethuli house, u can all go alone... Union Buildings we shall go with you
Black people should just stay away and allow white DA members do their thing alone
Let white people march, blacks don't DO that. Never listen to a white person instructing you to charge against another black person NO matter what.
This planned after Andre resigned. Howcome, the vcrisis deepened under his watch.
Na we are not coming. The March must go to Buffalo's office not Luthuli
Which South Africans are they calling 👀👀👀
February also DA must join protest for free education
Why are u not protest to remove ramaposa as u did to Zuma u know his the only problem in this country other wise u will protest alone coz u also benefit in ramaposa crimes this is nonsense
Those are headquarters of the Liberation movement, The SG and Deputy SG must prepare to recruit new membership delivered by DA Steinhuisen
Led by a grade 11 never
Just imagine marching to go give a Memorandum to a clown like Fikile Mbalula 🙄🙄🙄
Will white people be there? Sikhathele thina
Black people must reject this racist DA. When we are dealing with racism they all keep quiet but now they want to use black people for a stupid senseless spineless march. Why doesn't the DA want Ankole leave amd resign, they pretend and they defend De Ruyter at the same time 🤞
It will end in tears.
*March date: 02 February 2023 *Place : from Sunnighill Taxi rank to ESKOM offices in MEGAWATT Park *Time : 10H00*(Assemble) then 11H00 march to ESKOM offices (Between 10H00--13H00)
Tsek, let them go there cause they are afraid to embarass the white ceo
We want to see whites leading the match especially Steenhuizen
Political parties can’t be the ones marching bo. DA, when citizens March you should be on the other side to accept letter with grievances kanti why we misleading SAns on your role?
azikhale... Seziyakhala ke manje
Why not Union buildings?
Niyahlanya
We are not Mmusi Maimane thina, they must not we are stupid asihlanyi phela thina
Why Luthuli House & not Union Building?
Its January and universities are accepting domkops like jsteenhuisen. What does he want at another party HQ? Fool govt it at Union buildings
Wrong place. Eskom and Public Enterprises are in Megawatt Park and Pretoria respectively
You are asking for trouble from those people 😂😂😂
This is an unprovoked provocation and it might not end well for the DA. And I'm no ANC supporter or member.
Why not to Eskom, Jamnandas Gordon or Union Buildings?.. 🤔
Not to Eskom?
Picnic
Anc will find them at Luthuli
Lol as if they will decrease
Marching to Luthuli means it's political march. And we as South African now, we've no energy to fight DA battles with ANC. The energy we hav is to fight Eskom to give us power fully.
What would that solve?
Black people shouldn't fall for the DA's tricks and let themselves be used as pawns. The DA is not concerned with finding a permanent solution to load shedding. They are just out for themselves, protecting deryter and ramaphosa.
Black people should never join this March. Why aren't they marching to eskom to deal with their incompetent white ceo which they are protecting at all costs. Bayanya laba
IS DA NOW PART OF THE ANC?
No including me, this one he think is too cleaver
The comments and race hate, proves that we will be stuck with these problems until kingdom comes.
He should Western Cape rather
Fighting between supporters won'tbe stopped if this proceeds
DA has a time to play political games when South Africans are facing the everlasting loadshedding they act like someone who is trying to separate oil from water by idolizing Ramaphosa but blaming the ANC for the poor governance. Only puppets and master's dogs will vote for them.
Give the addresses of all ANC goverment individuals we want to protest outside there houses
Go and protest at their offices or homes... Luthuli house will be empty
Tell them we are not going there...we will march on our own.
Come South Africans! Time to march.
No need to go there for what?
We won't go there. Protest for what?
We will organize ours where we will go to the union buildings where the president of the country work
Why not to their bosses in Stellenbosch
I'll advised anc doesn't make decisions Union building and Megawatts are only relevant people to take out our grievance
In the language of some professionals this is 'Misdirection' yet they are failing to face the white elephant in the room. This is bound to produce nothing. Mind you this person wants to rule RSA. Lead by Palooka.
They love Ramaphosa the same way they loved Mandela and you know the rest when white men loves you
We blacks who are not stupid will never march with the racists DA
This match will change nothing. Its just PR for the DA.
The ANC has right to defend its property
No thanks.
DA is MAD
The Canon fire will be the darkies. Don't do it!
Provocation. DA must learn from history. Inkatha can provide the details.
I'm warning you 🙄🙄
Why don't they call us to march to PhalaPhalaFarm? PhalaPhalaFarmGateCriminal ?
They must go and provoke anc alone...
Why not at Eskom HQ?
DA people should go alone
Leon_Schreib Oh dear our best plan! A cottage industry protest to Luthuli house led by John Steenhuisen! PATHETIC! The man who day by day destroyed the state through lies and deceit sits in the Union Building. Does Steenhuisen have the courage or intelligence for the job?
Luthuli House is not where our problem sits.
Please retweet this Open Letter to SANTACO SA_Taxis We need all the help we can get
They must march to Parly and hand the Memorandum to the President why do they want to march Luthulu Eskom is not a political party issue it is a government issue or do they want to cover up the DA shadow Minister of Minerals and Energy who is supposed to keep check on the Dept.
They must call their members rena re tsena kae mo ba spita ba.
Today 15/01/2023: 00:00-0230 08:30-1230 16:00-2030 Of no electricity. What we call this stage. Are the Snowballs also loadsheded. Would like to see their periods
There will be no one there. They are out canvassing as we speak. Plan carefully, form coalitions, get the country together, and oust the ruling party. Or are you scared? People put them there, so people can take them out if there. Stop being scared!! You guys have the means.
They must do it alone those racist. When a racial issues occurs they keep quite....
Whenever the DA wants to strike, they have to call on all South Africans. They need the hit makers present because:
Afther the march, things will go back to normal
They should do it alone bloody racists
Why to Luthuli House and not Eskom 👀👀👀
John o rata attention maan tsek, doesn't he know the Union Buildings are
Why Lithuli house why not Union building?
We will be there in numbers to defend our revolutionary house.
We are calling on him to clarify that matric certificate issue which he never disclosed in Parliament or else makabhalise to at least obtain it, he has money to hire private tutors.
Kosiza ngani ukumashela eLuthuli hawusi ngempela mnewethu .... kuyafana nje noma kungayiwa khona lapho isazobelokhu ikjona nje ilodsheding
Not when they’re going to Luthuli house. This is dangerous. Why not Union Buildings or Eskom. Marching to another Party’s Headquarters is provocative.
They won't join . They will ask stupid questions but will never initiate any protest . They are just lazy like that! These are South African!
DA should be taking that march to Eskom_SA to protest there if it's about electricity not their hidden agenda Luthuli House doesn't supply electricity
This is an incitement of violence. What will DA people do if ANC members block you from making noise next to their headquarters?
CapeIndependence is coming
Lethuli house😳 why though?😂😂😂 now that's desperate
I agree with what alot of people are saying, Stuff marching for this, push now for elections to happen in 2023. 2024 is tooo far away and people can no longer wait.
I wish anc will defend this and if blood flow in the street let it be.eishkom is not housed in lootooly house but at megawatt ef park.
Good we march but wrong destination.
I have Never seen a Black President so loved by White People. Never. Even when the finger is directed at him for being Incompetent, they always find a way of misdirecting that finger
What mzabalazo songs will they be singing? Rama must fall? 🤷🏽♂️🤔🙄
A march on parliament or the Union Building or even Eskom head office would have made sense. Luthuli house makes no sense except for political grandstanding.
Are they paying for our flights? 🤔
Go and protest yourself
Is that where the mainswitch is?
Why don’t they ask the municipalities to go out and re install the rippler relays as the rippler system is still operating. This will take the massive load off the grid and stop load shedding! Contact me and I’ll explain! I do have the sums and data to prove it!!
On payday 🫤
Ook al wanneer die DA-fatsos oefeining inkry...as hulle loop en kla.
I would definitely join but i have to work
Only the dark members will be there
These ones have lost the plot. Maybe next time they’ll elect a more educated leader, preferably one who understands government and it’s structures. OwnGoalAgain
John is protecting Cyril by all means
The march was supposed to go straight to union building and megawatt.
Why march to Luthuli House?
Let us fight the corrupt looters at ANC VoetsekANC
Yoooo
😯 huuh
