Weather’s role in wildfires in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #weather #climatechange #wildfireseasonJOHANNESBURG - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday rejected opposition allegations that a recent pause in the electricity cuts that have plagued the country for years was due to an election coming up on May 29.
The ANC faces its toughest electoral test to date, with opinion polls suggesting it is on course to lose its parliamentary majority for the first time since it came to power 30 years ago at the end of apartheid. Ramaphosa attributed the improvement to a renewed focus by Eskom on maintenance, new generation capacity from renewable energy projects and strong take-up of rooftop solar panels boosted by tax incentives.The Democratic Alliance, the biggest opposition party, last week attributed the improved power supply to"political interference" by the ANC, which it accused of putting pressure on Eskom to keep the lights on.
"If the lights are on, well done, but they're on because we are pouring money into diesel at a rate of knots," de Ruyter, who stepped down in February 2023, told a conference in South Africa, in comments widely reported by local media.
