Load shedding has continued unabated for six straight years with varying intensity and debilitating effect on households, institutions, businesses and service delivery. The cost to the economy is surely immense.

The suffering and inconvenience visited on the citizenry is unacceptable. The consequences of the power outages are too ghastly to contemplate.  Jobs have been lost, businesses have gone under, opportunities have been scampered and it is possible that some lives may have been lost due to the power outages.
