al power stations.
The power utility says that it has a shortage of generating capacity which has plunged the country into stage 4 load shedding throughout the weekend and on Monday. Besides coal supply issues and breakdowns at power stations, South Africa also lost 1,000 megawatts from the Cahora Bassa hydroelectric system in Mozambique due to the cyclone in that country.
Cash-strapped Eskom has been asking for more money and applying for tariff increases and now that it is battling to keep the lights on, government has stepped in. Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan said everything possible is being done to normalise the electricity supply and Treasury has committed to assist Eskom to rehabilitate and repair the damage at local power stations.A technical review team began its work last week and will continue monitoring operations at power plants this week to determine the measures that are needed to prevent further breakdowns.#LoadShedding stage four continues till Tuesday.

Sell it to someone that needs to make it WORK
Sell it .. or let it run by a woman
I trust u Pravin
Eskomplicated!
Have the Italians arrived yet.
Everything possible except for appointing white ppl except for lowering management salaries except for sorting out corruption etc!!!
What is everything? He’s still not being clear , we don’t have leaders in this crisis
He is a pharmacist so, yeah😥😥😥😥😥
Gordan and his minions are failing what they thought was easy to do
Even Pravin is starting to piss me off!
😂
MYANC , if you say this often enough, you would believe it?
Put them behind bars. Stop stage 4 before we get to stage 5 basically stop load shedding. Can someone competent do the job?
Definitely not! Eskom getting a free pass because all you guys have something to lose if the rot truly gets exposed
Trim the staff quota by about half , privatize the thing before the situation gets worse
No you are not doing everything possible once the corrupt Eskom staff and corrupt ANC get arrested and prosecuted then you can say you are doing everthing possible.. For now you just talking BS
First thing they can do is to get their 20000 excess staff onto the streets directing traffic. Should include a few ministers as well.
No no I disagree Chief.

#StateCaptureInquiry: Tom Moyane applies to cross-examine Pravin GordhanThe state capture commission is expected to hear an application by former SARS commissioner Tom Moyane to cross-examine Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan. Anticipating a war with faceless Moyo supporters sponsored by the Mazzotti's The cross-examine would be Mazzotti's versus Pravin and hidden treasures This is good the only way you dig up the truth is by cross examination if the story teller did not voluntarily tell the truth or did not fabricate the story he/she told. I support Moyane on this one irrespective of whether I trust him or not

Zondo caught in Gordhan and Moyane’s crossfireIt was argued that Moyane’s application is 'a poorly disguised attempt to use the commission as a political platform by Mr Moyane'. No he is not caught anywhere. That only happens when you are captured. It is a test for Zondo to prove he is not captured. Pravin gordan is no god he must be cross examined.
