Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>John Steenhuisen, leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA), will lead a march to Luthuli House this Wednesday against power cuts which the party says were engineered by the ruling African National Congress (ANC).<\/p>\n

The DA party is also marching against cadre deployment, tariff hikes, and corruption.<\/p>\n

The party says it\u2019s time to stop the ANC\u2019s destruction of the country\u2019s energy infrastructure and economy, eNCA News reported. Watch the video below for more:<\/p>\n

South Africa has been facing a power crisis in recent years, primarily due to a lack of investment in new power generation capacity and maintenance issues at existing power plants.<\/p>\n

The state-owned utility company, Eskom, has struggled to meet the country\u2019s growing electricity demand and has implemented rolling blackouts, known as \u201cload shedding,\u201d to manage the limited supply of power.<\/p>\n

The government has been working to address the crisis by implementing a number of measures, such as investing in renewable energy and increasing the use of independent power producers, but the problem remains ongoing.<\/p>\n

South Africa faces at least two more years of persistent blackouts as the country\u2019s state-owned power company recently overhauled its ageing coal-fired plants.<\/p>\n

The crisis is viewed as a political threat to the ANC ahead of the general elections scheduled for 2024.<\/p>\n
