I agree it's an emergency

DA has been asking for this many years now. IFP now following DA steps finally

How will that help exactly?

good idea,

Before declaring state of emergency they need to disconnect all those owing Eskom. The state of emergency will just make it easier for Government to borrow money and misuse it like in the past.

He should have done that long time

Inkatha and the racist white supremacist former NP liked states of emergency.

What is that going to achieve, need to know the reasons why Eskom senior executives go to their jobs with bullet proof vests, what are they scared of? Why is the army there when SAPS and Hawks should be hunting down the people harassing Eskom employees.

Will they be considered?

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤

Good move
