Ramaphosa responds to reports saying that he argued he had no obligation to ensure South Africa had electricity

The Presidency has described recent media reporting on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s responding affidavit in a case challenging the constitutionality of load-shedding as a "gross misrepresentation of statements".

Media reports have suggested that President Ramaphosa’s affidavit suggests that neither he, as president, nor government bear a duty to provide electricity to South Africans.

But you do have a duty to supply water and that is electricity dependant.

• Providing incentives to businesses and households to invest in rooftop solar and developing mechanisms to enable them to sell surplus power back into the grid.

Go Google AREP - African Rainbow Energy & Power (The company Ramas linked to via his wife's brother)
And it all will start to make sense.

Yep, were those his words, or how a journalist decided to interpret it that time?

So, create a gap, fill the gap? Am I interpreting this correctly

How else can everything fit so well together from AREP start to where he is tasked back in 2013 to fix LS and we still sitting with the crap.

I mean AREP even had this drop back in 2019

And now we getting laws changed in their fav.
Just too easy if you ask me.

ANC is a full-on Coal vs Renewables war and we just the fodder.

If he's under no obligation to provide power, then dissolve any ministries related to energy. And leave power generation and transmission to the private sector.

Hopefully this just opened up the way for somebody to take the government to court to remove electricity from them. If they're under no obligation then why are they desperately clinging onto it...

 

[McRuder]

What he said was that there is no legal obligation or duty on him or his guvmint to supply electricity, that it is the responsibility of local municipalities. He is not derelicting any duties in not providing the service, as accused.

TL;DR: It is not really our problem, it is your problem.

 

[ShakeSpeer]

Who's duty is it to supply the municipalities with power ?
