In a statement delivered during the State of the Nation Address, Sylvia Lucas, the former Premier of the Northern Cape and current Deputy Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces, adopts a seemingly detached stance towards the ongoing energy challenges. Dismissing the severity of load shedding, Lucas portrays it as a manageable inconvenience, a perspective that may not resonate with individuals grappling with hospitalization, unemployment, or the demands of education. Criticism arises, questioning the relevance of such sentiments from a seemingly self-satisfied politician with the luxury of a generator and a diesel allowance, as some argue that the government appears to have lost touch with the real struggles faced by the population.
