Action Society isn't a political party? It's Ian Cameron's org (the guy from the SHURRRUUPPP Cele vid)?

Political party leaders snubbed Ramaphosa's urgent Eskom meeting... because they had no electricity | News24

Several political party leaders with seats in Parliament did not attend President Cyril Ramaphosa's urgent meeting to discuss the country's dire electricity crisis because they were being load shed.

There's something that doesn't add up here.

Steenhuisen wrote in the WhatsApp thread:

I have load shedding this evening at that time and, given the rude and dismissive response I received from the president's office when I requested a meeting with him, it is clear that we are not taken seriously

Johnny-boy earns a parliamentary salary that is quite generous. Why doesn't he have battery back-up to get through a session of load-shedding?

He should at least have a small inverter-battery for his fibre box and router. How will he book those emergency plane tickets?

Not to forget that Steenhuisen is the one who demanded a meeting with Cyril, when a political stunt backfires...

I think it was more of a statement than reality.

He had requested a meeting and was brushed off, and he'd done it properly with a letter and all that. The presidency thinks it's OK to just send out a WhatsApp at the last minute, generally should get a GfY response in my opinion.

Why should His Excellency President Ramaphosa be at the beck and call of Johnny Boy?
