Motorists warned of road closures as DA marches against rolling blackouts in Joburg’s CBD – SABC NewsPosted by MMP News AuthorOn January 25, 2023

Several streets in the Johannesburg CBD will be closed ahead of the Democratic Alliance (DA) march on Wednesday morning.

The party will head to the  African National Congress (ANC) headquarters, Luthuli House, in Johannesburg, to protest against rolling blackouts.

The DA has accused the ANC of engineering the country’s energy crisis. The official opposition has also blamed the ANC’s cadre deployment, which it is challenging in court, for the problems at Eskom.
