The government urgently needs to provide uninterrupted power to public hospitals, schools, police stations and small businesses to avert a"humanitarian disaster," a coalition of political parties, trade unions and civil society groups has argued in court.

"We are asking for the bare essentials," lawyer Tembeka Ngcukaitobi told the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria."Keep the hospitals open 24 hours a day, keep schools open 10 hours a day, keep police stations open 24 hours a day." Ngcukaitobi is acting for the United Democratic Movement, the Inkatha Freedom Party, Musi Maimane's Build One South Africa, the SA Federation of Trade Unions and the National Union of Metalworkers of SA, among others, in their case against the state.

No no.. the more energy you put into a nation tje welathier it will be.. its not govt keeping this energry crisis..its 4 ir 5 above govt but being supoorted by the people. We need mass action.. nobody pay tax or eskom until its scrapped and people are in jail

It’s a basic human right, everyone needs electricity. Surely there are short term solutions that can be implemented with immediate effect. The production of additional power is not impossible since it is a developing technology with options & some infrastructure already exists.

The ANC is finished! Come 2024, Action4SA will deliver an HISTORIC upset countrywide. voteoutANC

Minister of energy is there . Found the switch So it should happen aoon

To be fair, hospitals charge enough to be able to sort out some alternative power

The government needs to stop white erasure in its institutions if it cares more about helping millions of citizens than harming thousands of White workers.

There are lots of major industries that have bribed their local municipalities to not load shed them. There is no risk of damage to equipment but rather lost of productivity like the rest of us.

And so does the person in the street, with insurance companies attempting to hide behind load shedding too… the person in the street pockets will be further negatively impacted! Can’t even imagine the impact on small businesses! CyrilRamaphosa & his govt continue to fail SA

Waisting the court's time,they missed the opportunity to come to the street yesterday during NationalShutdown ,what must the court do,no court in south Africa can rule against the current administration
