Loadshedding will return

According to SABC News, Msimanga addressed DA members at Lilliesleaf farm in Gauteng. He said he expected load shedding to be implemented after the 29 May general elections. There has been no loadshedding for almost a month, but Msimanga does not think it would last beyond the elections.

Msimanga said the ruling party continues to break promises it made since 1994. He added that the ANC-led government is uninterested in fighting corruption and crime and tackling South Africans' challenges.

Ntizens agree with Msimanga

Social media users on Facebook supported Msimanga's statements.

Kanye Pamba said:

"He is right. Can he also tell his cronies to fix Tshwane? It's not just about pointing problems out. He needs to be part of the solution."

Kriek Olivier said:

"This story of 'no loadshedding now' will end after the elections."
