DA chief John Steenhuisen says they’ll vehemently oppose the proposed 18.65 percent electricity tariff hike for Eskom.
He led hundreds of his supporters in a march towards load shedding to the ANC head workplaces in Johannesburg earlier on Wednesday.
The official opposition accused the ANC of intentionally engineering the rolling blackouts.
Final week the Nationwide Power Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) authorized the tariff hike for electrical energy for this yr.
Steenhuisen says South Africans can now not take the accountability of the ANC’s mismanagement.
He says right this moment’s march was the genesis of a rolling mass motion towards ANC governance.
“We’re not going to simply accept the 18.65 % tariff improve and that spineless man sitting in that home who every week in the past advised us that – my arms are tied; I can’t do something. And let me inform this as properly, I’m calling on all South Africans to make right this moment the start, this isn’t the top that is the start of a peaceable rolling mass motion throughout the nation as a result of that is the language that the individuals at Luthuli Home perceive. In the event that they suppose we’re going to keep and settle for the tariff improve we should now pay for his or her corruption for his or her cadre deployment we’re right here to say as South Africans, No No No.”
