DA Leader John Steenhuisen calls for an urgent meeting with President Ramaphosa to end load shedding 

🚨 | DA Leader John Steenhuisen has written to President Ramaphosa calling for an urgent meeting about Eskom and the ongoing #loadshedding crisis.
Where the DA governs, the Party is taking several steps to shield citizens, the time has come for the national government to put politics aside and work with independent energy experts and capable governments.
Both the DA and many energy experts have been proposing solutions to get South Africa out of this crisis for years:
🔌 Unbundle Eskom into separate transmission, distribution and generation entities and open the market for electricity generation to private power producers.
👥 Appoint skilled engineers to run the transmission, distribution and generation elements of Eskom, and stop all political interference.
❌ Exempt Eskom from all obstacles to efficient spending and rapid decision-making, such as localisation and BEE legislation, by declaring a ring-fenced state of disaster.
🛡️ Ramp up security at all key Eskom sites and deal decisively and harshly with saboteurs.
⚡️ Do everything possible to enable private generation to come online soonest, such as lifting the 100MW cap.
