A special load-shedding exemption “due to the presence of high security risk persons” at the ANC national conference has spared VIPs from blackouts at Nasrec, Johannesburg, according to a press release distributed by City Power.
Initially when confronted with the question of whether the ANC had requested a special load-shedding exemption for their elective conference, ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe said they had not and to do so would constitute “state capture of a special type”.
However, when confronted with a City Power press release, Mabe backtracked, saying the decision was not taken by the ANC but by SAPS.
