Business rights watchdog AfriBusiness this week said it supports the stance of Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille on renewable energy and welcomes possible court action against State-owned Eskom.

This court action is being considered as a result of the refusal by Eskom and the national government to allow the Western Cape provincial government to source renewable energy from independent energy providers.
 
“Eskom and the national government, including Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown, would rather politicise the production of renewable energy and increase electricity tariffs than to yield a single cent to independent electricity providers.

“This stance will inevitably lead to job losses, more electricity blackouts and divestment in South Africa,” AfriBusiness labour law advice unit manager Charles Castle said.
