The Fezile Dabi District Municipality issued a response rejecting an appeal by the Centre for Environmental Rights concerning the variation of ESKOM's Atmospheric Emission License (AEL). The municipality asserts that the decision to vary the license was made in concurrence with the National Air Quality Officer and in compliance with the Constitution, NEMA, and the Air Quality Act.

• The Fezile Dabi District Municipality rejected the appeal regarding the variation of ESKOM's Atmospheric Emission License (AEL), stating there are "no compelling reasons justifying your appeal" and concluding that the "appeal must fail."
• The municipality denied the claim that its Air Quality Officer "mechanically implemented" emission limits set by the National Air Quality Officer. Instead, it asserts the decision was taken "concurrently with the National Air Quality Officer" as per paragraph 13 of the National Framework for Air Quality Management.
• The municipality maintains that in varying or amending ESKOM's AEL, it fulfilled its statutory obligations under Section 24 of the Constitution, the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA), and the Air Quality Act (AQA).
