Last week, the country experienced rotational power cuts as a result of several power stations breaking down.
‘The public wage bill is unsustainable. We must shift expenditure to investment,’ Finance Minister Mboweni said.
‘We think that it was flat, it has nothing to offer and he just repeated exactly what he said in the past,’ the EFF leader said.
Police are investigating a case of attempted murder after a shootout in Lenchen Avenue, Centurion, on Wednesday afternoon.
Mboweni announced that the national government was not taking on Eskom’s debt which stands at a stagerring R421 billion.
The police minister allegedly accused McBride of having ‘sold state secrets to criminals’.

Prostitutes, drugs, dodgy firefighting equipment, vagrants, and rescued dogs are all linked to the fire.
