Cabinet awaiting legal advice on state of disaster on Eskom

Minister in the Presidency, Mondli Gungubele says cabinet is still awaiting legal advice on whether or not it should declare a state of disaster on Eskom. Gungubele says there are other options being considered, to fast-track the process of ending the blackouts.

Speaking on the sidelines,  Gungubele said the meeting will deliberate on the energy crisis, the state of service delivery, crime and the economy, among other issues.

“There is a strong desire in government to find ways of ending load-shedding as quickly as possible. A lot of interventions are taking place, be it sourcing energy from outside, fast-tracking emergency power, skills and upping the ante on maintaining the plants.

“But there is a call that wouldn’t a disaster declaration help us jump other processes which sometimes do not help with the response to the situation. We do not have a response yet on whether there is a legal base for us to declare a disaster.
