“Investigations are being done and I hope that we can be advised as quickly as possible in a manner that is consistent with the crisis. We have been asking for the advice and they have been looking at it,” said Gungubele.
The discussion on declaration was at the top of the agenda at the two-day cabinet lekgotla at Sefako Makgatho presidential guest house in Pretoria on Thursday. The meeting is being chaired by President Cyril Ramaphosa. 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.”
Let’s loot
That’s the problem with the ANC. So they meet in Lekgotla and declare a disaster and then come after that and say they’re seeking legal advice. Kanti didn’t they know that they rather seek the legal advice first? And besides, what the hell are they seeking legal advice for?
… just to check if the stealing cadres could grab and steal without consequences….
