• EFF MP Busisiwe Mkhwebane expressed scepticism about the ANC's promises to end loadshedding in her parliamentary maiden address
• Mkhwebane questioned the scientific evidence and engineering solutions behind the ANC's pledge to end loadshedding by December 2023
• South Africans took to social media to question Mkhwebane's credibility, with some pointing out her prior association with the ANC

CAPE TOWN - Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane received backlash from South Africans when she expressed her doubts about the ANC's ability to end loadshedding in South Africa.

Delivering her maiden address as a new EFF member in Parliament, Mkhwebane said there are no scientific and engineering demonstrations, nor is there evidence that loadshedding will end under the ruling party.

"At the beginning of this year, the secretary-general of the ruling party said that loadshedding will end before December 2023, and there are no scientific and engineering demonstrations and evidence and signs that loadshedding will end under this government.

"Despite the many assurances given by this minister, who oddly does not have a dedicated committee to report here in Parliament, loadshedding will remain and will get worse as long as the ANC is still in power," said Mkhwebane.

Mkhwebane also added that over the last five years, the president of the ANC has assured the people of South Africa that loadshedding will be a thing of the past, but things have just gotten worse.

Mkhwebane expresses not trusting the ANC

@Newsroom405 posted a video of the address on X, where Mkhwebane poured her heart out on her mistrust of the ANC.

"I like the fact that she will draw from your taxes. Thank you, EFF, for giving them chest pains."

@Makwe_GVN said:

"This one is embarrassing herself."

@KatlegoFortuna3 remarked:

"She wasn’t this vocal when she was benefiting from the rotten ANC."
