DA to procure electricity from IPPs amid energy crisis | IOL News

Johannesburg -

“I want South Africans to not be fooled by this temporary, short-term “breather” from rolling power cuts experienced this week. This is by no means a sign that all is well, and that the structural problems have been solved,” Maimane said. “Firstly, every DA-run municipality has been tasked to formulate and execute disaster management plans to mitigate the damage being caused to critical infrastructure and service delivery by unreliable and intermittent energy supply.

He said IPPs were multiplying across the country and were producing affordable electricity which had to be used to address the crisis of energy supply that was affecting the country.

Isn't that the same as privatizating Eskom?
