Gordhan calls continued load shedding ‘unacceptable’

The continuation of frequent load shedding, and in particular stage four load shedding, was unacceptable and disruptive to the economy and action would be taken in this regard, Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan said on Sunday.

Board members and Gordhan were briefed over several hours about power supply shortages caused by problems with coal supply and the quality of coal provided to Eskom, low dam storage levels at hydro plants, diesel supply shortages both to the country and to Eskom, the collapse of power supply imported from Cahora Bassa due to the cyclone natural disaster in Mozambique, and a large number of tube failures and breakdowns at local coal-fired power stations.

The National Treasury and the public enterprises department had committed to assist Eskom to fast-track, with the appropriate oversight, the procurement of essential goods and services required to urgently rehabilitate and repair generating units at local power stations. In addition, the technical review team began its work last week and would intensify its review of operations at power plants this week. The team would provide important information about plant unit failures and what urgent measures could be implemented to ensure power stations operate at optimal levels.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 something is very wrong with Prime Minister Gordhan
