Minister of public enterprises Pravin Gordhan says his department will appeal the high court ruling on load-shedding.The Black Business Council has urged public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan to “put the country first” by not appealing a Pretoria high court
judgment ordering the government to ensure public hospitals, clinics, schools and police stations are shielded from load-shedding. “The BBC requests the government to do all in its powers to ensure that the vulnerable sectors of our country, society and economy are protected against the ravages of load-shedding. Appealing the judgment will project the government as only caring for the rich and advantageous,” said BBC president Elias Monage.axpayers face an enormous bill if the government has to implement the court ruling.
But an appeal against the court order is “very likely”, Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said. “We have significant concerns about the judgment and its impact on the stability of the grid and the negative effect on the fiscus,” he said.The ruling comes as concern mounts over electricity supply during the coming winter months, with some energy experts suggesting load-shedding will reach record highs.Monage said the judgment marked a fundamental and important shift in the enforcement of the constitution.
