— Eskom Hld SOC Ltd September 4, 2020 This comes after the utility suspended the general managers of the Kriel and Tutuka power stations for poor performance that led to load shedding being implemented. South Africans are angry with Eskom battling to keep the lights on, once again, and the power utility said an investigation was now under way to find out why certain power stations have been failing.

Spokesperson Sikhonathi Mantshantsha said there were repeat offenders: “Kriel, Tutuka and Kendal. Every press statement that we release about load shedding, we mention that there are problems at these stations and these problems range from generation units not returning to service as planned or just things breaking down without any explanation.”Download the EWN app to your iOS or Android device.
