The DA wants the High Court of South Africa to declare the 18.65% tariff increase granted to Eskom to be declared unconstitutional, invalid and set aside.
The DA has instructed its lawyers to approach the High Court and apply for an urgent interdict to halt National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) approved electricity tariff increases.
Several high-profile lawyers, leaders, and NPOs have threatened Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter and Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan with legal action following their failure to provide a stable power supply to the country.
