Eskom says there are currently no plans to implement Stage 5 and Stage 6South Africans have been experiencing Stage 4 loadshedding since Saturday.which has gripped Mozambique as well as maintenance issues at various power plants.Watch video below for more on the story:
The Mozambique cyclone has cut power exports to South Africa from the Cahora Bassa hydro-electric facility. This has contributed to Eskom’s power shortfall.The country is currently enduring severe stage four loadshedding. Eskom Chairperson Jabu Mabuza has vowed that measures have been put in place to avoid a total blackout.
He’s been speaking in a media address alongside Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, and is appealing to South Africans to understand the nature of the challenges the power utility faces. “In the crisis mode that we find ourselves, we would have to look at those skills that are critical and essential. We are allowed to provide for a certain load factor using diesel. We have exceeded outside the acceptable level, but in meeting the demand to try and avoid a total blackout, we do believe we are still very far from that point. If the demand continues to be outside the equilibrium it’s going to collapse the system.
But this 'Stage 4 loadshedding' had Randburg and other places in the dark for 8+ hours. Stage 4 is 4 hour cycles max sooo?
At the moment?

Eskom upgrades load-shedding to stage 4Load shedding will move from stage 3 to stage 4 by midday on Saturday, Eskom announced. I associate the word 'upgrade' with a positive change, e.g. an upgrade from economy-class to business-class. Maybe we should say 'downgrades' from stage 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, etc., and 'upgrades' from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1? Load Shedding is *not* a crisis. This is the *success* of RET that we should be celebrating and congratulating the ANC for delivering. Its what we voted for when we elected Zuma (twice).
