Click here to read the full judgment on Saflii [1] This is an urgent application in which the applicants seek an order preserving the status quo pending the resolution of the dispute between them and the first respondent, Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd (Eskom), in terms of section 40 of the Electricity Regulation Act of 2004.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) welcomes the announcement by Deputy President David Mabuza last week that Eskom will take over the management of the electricity function of Maluti-a-Phofung (MaP) municipality. In 2018 the Harrismith Business Forum approached the Bloemfontein High Court when Eskom threatened to cut electricity supply to MaP. They indicated that they had been paying their electricity bills to the municipality which had not reached Eskom and that the survival of their businesses were under threat due to the large-scale mismanagement in the municipality. The President, various ministers and departments and provincial government were included as respondents in the case. The Business Forum felt that the entire government had failed to ensure service delivery by not intervening in the dysfunctional municipality.
