Do they need to?

Maybe. I mean this basically means they now have to declare internal party donations for their campaigns.

They will need to make new rules compelling all competing candidates to declare and not just those who are members of the executive.

I think he comes across as Captain Obvious to most of us yes, but it is useful for someone in his position to lay these things out for people to hear... many people don't seem to know about the on-run consequences of an extended power outage.

Yeah. I assume they laid out plans to solve load shedding as well.

“We're calling on President Ramaphosa to heed what we've said today, to take it seriously, to appoint an outside expert to lead the effort to get us out of this crisis. Failure to do so will be more load-shedding, more blackouts, more job losses, more suffering and more poverty — and South Africans will never forgive you for that.”

Outside expert lol! Like they don't know what the problems are.
