THE lawsuit by unions, political parties and other interested parties against government over the country’s load shedding is expected to be heard over five days in March by the full bench of the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
The initial court date was set for the 28th of February but that has been changed to accommodate the full court.
The applicants in the matter includes the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa), the United Democratic Movement (UDM), the Health and Allied workers Indaba Trade Union (HAITU), Build One South Africa (BOSA), the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu), and Democracy In Action (DIA).
In a joint statement on Monday, the applicants announced that the Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba directed that the legal case be heard from 20 March 2023 to 24 March 2023 by a full court of the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
