The Democratic Alliance has called for an urgent debate of public importance on Eskom power crisis. 

DA MP of Public Enterprise Natasha Michael said the heart of the problem is the construction of the Medupi power station which Michael says this project has delayed and is over budget. 

Michael said this load shedding from Eskom will have a major impact on our economy and will inevitable result to job losses.

“With our economy already moving along so slowly and facing many internal and external pressures this announcement has to be treated as a national crisis” Michael added.
