Gwede Mantashe’s load-shedding failure
Energy minister Gwede Mantashe has presided over the worst period of load-shedding since Eskom first implemented rotational power cuts in 2007.
Citing independent estimates, the Democratic Alliance (DA) states that South Africa has shed 4,136 GWh since President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed Mantashe in 2018. CSIR data suggests that this figure is likely closer to 5,797 GWh.
