Government will likely appeal a ruling by the North Gauteng High Court that all hospitals, clinics, schools and police stations be spared from electricity disruptions. | News24_Business

On Friday Judge Norman Davis ordered the Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan to"take all reasonable steps" within 60 days to ensure that public health establishments, state schools and the South African Police Service are not affected by load shedding.

The United Democratic Movement , Inkatha Freedom Party, Action SA, the National Union of Metalworkers and other organisations had launched a legal bid to spare hospitals and clinics, 23 000 public schools and police stations from load shedding. They also applied to exempt water and sanitation services, small businesses that deal in perishable goods, and cellphone networks from load shedding, but the judgment only focused on education, health and policing facilities.
