DPE to appeal loadshedding exemption ruling made by High Court

Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has said his department will lodge an urgent appeal to set aside the judgment handed down by the North Gauteng High Court on May 5 that schools, hospitals and police stations must be spared from loadshedding. Judge Norman Davis ordered Gordhan to take all reasonable steps within 60 days to ensure these places of interest are not affected by loadshedding, as it infringes on Constitutional rights.
