Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69642, member: 636"] The Democratic Alliance plans to request intervention from provincial authorities to address the persistent electricity supply failures in the Metsimaholo Local Municipality. The party asserts that the frequent power cuts, resulting from inadequate maintenance and infrastructure, violate constitutional mandates requiring municipalities to provide reliable services. This action follows years of resident and business complaints about unplanned blackouts that disrupt daily life and harm the local economy. The DA had previously gathered a petition with over a thousand signatures and allocated funds for substation upgrades during its brief period leading the municipality, but those projects were not completed. The party is now appealing to the MECs for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs and Infrastructure to compel the municipality to execute necessary repairs and ensure a stable power supply for the community.
