What's the buzz? Some energy experts say exempting all schools, hospitals and police stations from loadshedding is simply not practical. This comes after the North Gauteng High court ruled that hospitals, schools and police stations are to be exempted from rolling blackouts. The United Democratic Movement, UDM and other 17 organisations took the matter to court seeking exemption of the institutions. 

 

• The court found that loadshedding is an infringement of constitutional rights, and has given the Minister of Public Enterprises 60 days to take all reasonable steps that these institutions are exempted from loadshedding.
