No, Eskom can’t just cut the supply of electricity to Tshwane
Please find attached an Englsih and an Afrikaans soundbite by Cilliers Brink MP.
Eskom is not permitted to cut the supply of electricity to any municipality without exhausting intergovernmental processes.
This is a lesson Eskom has already leant in court.
And so, the power utility’s continuous threats against the City of Tshwane are not only irresponsible, they are unconstitutional.
The truth is that before Eskom officials in Gauteng even touch the off switch, they have to consider Tshwane’s position.
