Please note: the regulations fo which a link was originally provided in this article have been withdrawn and replaced.
The Department of Co-operative Governance & Traditional Affairs has gazetted regulations on measures intended to address the effects of ‘severe energy supply constraint(s)’ in the context of the State of Disaster declared on 9 February 2023. They came into effect on 27 February 2023, when the Government Gazette website was offline until approximately 17:30.
Among other things, the regulations require all institutions within the spheres of national, provincial and local government to take steps to prevent the situation from escalating subject to the availability of funds.
The regulations also empower Cabinet ministers to issue directions on matters ‘within their mandate’ - and, according to a media statement issued by the Government Communications on 28 February, will ‘facilitate the importation of electricity by Eskom from neighbouring countries’.
