No load shedding at ministers’ residences ‘because they have to be available 24 hours’, says government

[dualmeister]

Pretoria – The Department of Public Service and Administration has clarified that official residences, where Cabinet ministers and their deputies reside are exempt from the bouts of load shedding effected by struggling power utility Eskom.

“Remember, just like the president’s residence is a national key point, those residences, because of the fact that they host members of the executive, they also become national key points.

“The risk of load shedding for those properties is eliminated,” departmental spokesperson Moses Mushi told Newzroom Afrika.

“Ministers, at their private residences still get load shedding. Security around our executives needs to always be protected.”

Mushi also said Cabinet ministers and their deputies do not pay for utilities like water and electricity while living at the official residences.

The area in Pretoria my son lives in has never had load shedding, he needs to travel to experience what it is.

No, he is not a minister or has anything to do with them...

 

[Jefferson D'Arcy]

I am never short of amazed that this shower of spastics think people take them seriously.

They're all LARPing.

 

[AstroTurf]

By that logic every person that has standby shifts needs to be exempt. They also need security guards for when they have to travel at night.

No these thieves need to be brought back to the level of the voting class, there are enough monarchs in South Africa already.

The fckers!

No wonder loadshedding has been around for so long - none of these fckers know what it's like to have your work and personal life disrupted by loadshedding.

Dear Minister, the people of South Africa do NOT need you to be so available that you don't need to suffer loadshedding with the rest of us.

Bastards the lot of them.
