LIVE: Gordhan, Mabuza Eskom briefing held up by load shedding

Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan and the chairperson of the Eskom Board, Jabu Mabuza, will hold a media briefing to give an update on electricity supply problems on Tuesday morning in Johannesburg.

South Africans have faced five consecutive days of load shedding, including power cuts at night, as power utility Eskom battles a generation shortfall. Stage 2 load shedding was implemented on Friday. This moved to Stage 4 on Saturday, a weekend in summer when demand is typically low. The country has remained between stage 2 and stage 4 since then. The rolling cuts have hit small and medium sized businesses, caused traffic snarl-ups traffic and led to some cellphone network failures.

😂😂 the irony

You can’t make this isht up! 🇿🇦

But if the economy grows during load shedding then why is a media briefing being held up because of it a problem

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The people of Mafikeng need to do the sequel of last year's strike

MYANC's time is up in much the same way the National Party's was all those years ago! Broken government, broken promises and a broken country the longer they are allowed to remain in power.

In a normal & functional democracy this issue would have caused a regime change but because our political views are so racially devisive we stick to backing the same losing horse. Keep up the finger pointing SA, it will get us nowhere & the ANC know it.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

Let's see what happens on the 8th of MAY......

We r tired of de lips service. People should be held accountable 4 committing a crime against humanity. We are in a deep end because of corrupt greedy individuals. Until de ANC hold people accountable 4 dis mess, ANC will never be taken serious. These criminals must rot in jail

U can't make this 💩 up.

Check out KatlehoMK’s Tweet:

Check out KatlehoMK’s Tweet:

Employ or hire white skill to fix Eskom and other SOE's, forget and forgive past. Black people have no skill, knowledge and expertise to fix.

Ben Ngubane, Brian Molefe, Zola tsotsi, Zuma, Duduzane, Gupta, Koko Matshile and other's broke the power utility in such a way so no one can fix it in short term.

Keeping voting ANC

You not on the beach with that hat

You can't make this sh*t up 😂😂😂

😂😂 You really can't make this stuff up. Lol

I see what you did there 😜😜🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂

That is just beautiful.

These jokes write themselves.

ANC kicking it's own backside on a daily basis now. Cant wait for tomorrows episode!

😆🤣🤣😂🤣😂

Should retired them also because they don't know anything a out power plants themselves also

The New Dawn is seeing flames 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 where are the Ramaphosa Defense Force 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️ We only on Tuesday and he has been taking Ls left right and center 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Big hat but no cattle.moral of the story Mabuza occupies a big position at Eskom but he is clueless as to what is happening.

AndiMakinana Hieha

Come on.. We going backwards.. Load shedding then no water what next...

Load shedding affecting a meeting about load shedding😂

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a joke 😂

🤣🤣🤣 O nkosi yami

Eskom aren't in the mood today neh

MYANC its clear Pravin and his clueless have run out of ideas, please replace these empty, holding a press conference and saying nothing, CyrilRamaphosa please remove Pravin , gatsebe fokol

Are we a joke?

Can Eskom engineers show us in pictures what's really causing loadshedding unlike blah blah blah blah stage whatever everyday?

If it was still Zuma in charge we would hav woken up to a reshafle long ago

Bloody hilarious!!!

🤣🤣🤣 wow!!!

🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🌑🕯🔦🕯

This is some funny shit right here.... Seems like the government is having a normal citizens day. Mabuza probably sat there thinking ' oooo the economy, the economy is growing nicely '

_Bonga I keep saying...these jokes really do write themselves.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣What is new

Kana this is not scripted. Lol South Africa is a joke.

I prayed for this 😂😂😂 look at God 🤣🤣🤣

And you still vote ANC lol 🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Perfect.

Ironies!!

ANC is collapsing Eskom on purpose, they need to be pannished on the polls...

The irony 😅

Like 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣

Eh eh eh eh eh eh eheh for goodness sake

Get rid of that hat Mabuza. So unprofessional. Looks ridiculous

Gary22k We’ve become better at farce than the French

You really cant make this shit up

So 900mw is lost due to Moz weather, but suddenly we are 10,000mw short! Absolute deceipt on the part of the Government and Eskom board. Where do they find these CEO's....consistent incompetence is hard to repeat.

The hat screams foolishness!

AndiMakinana Eskom is just humbling every one in this country 😂😂😂

The bottom line the anc government is useless finish and klaar they allow the anc thieves to steal and steal.

Talk About Irony of the century

After they told us all about boilers the CEO had to show he knows something about boilers and repeats the same old rubbish. He is paid eight million rand to control load shedding. This hat man well he also earns millions they cannot rule a cat in a bag.

tshidi_lee You can't make this shit up🤭😂

There is no escape from Karma!

Ha ha ha, South Africa needs a re-set button.

AndiMakinana They have this all figured out. Host a presser during loadshedding and blame the delay on it, so that the public agree with the decision to 'unbundle' Eskom

Leon_Schreib Not many can watch / listen coz we are are being loadshedded😑

There is no hope in hell how do you plan your life if city power cannot stick to a schedule it actually does not exist. Sorry three times in one day is shocking.

Taste of your own medicine heh

Lol the irony

Good punishment not from heaven but from Escom

,ask them if you are there ,what is an average efficiency of Eskom Boilers .

Cyril’s election promise can be to bring South Africa from a 4th world country to a 3rd world country.

Leon_Schreib 🤣😂😁

What a WOW 😂😂😂.

Dlala_Mzolo let’s just start driving to Lesotho nje

I love Satafrika! 😂😂😂😂😂

This is suppose to be a joke?! 1st The President gets stuck in a train for hours and now the load shedding being a disturbance for a meeting about load shedding. Seems like a thought out plan

Lol..but we're presidents and leaders and sheeiit,kangz

Mmmm Didn't anyone think to consult Eskom's Loadshedding schedule before embarrassing themselves like this?!

Excellent! This is the SouthAfrican reality: No irony-free zone for Eskom & the ANCGovt!

I guess loadshedding schedules were very wet due to Moz storm, they could not see their own load shedding schedules,,,,,

Isn't that ironic? South Africa is going down and this is very serious.. Load shedding is really fucking up our lives..

How ironic 😂😂😂😂😂

Wild wild unbelievable

Can someone please go to jail for this. Im done now. We need eskom to have competition.

Please tune in to SABCNewsOnline he is live

Oh irony of ironies

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yesterday the broken down train and now this.

fuuunnneeeeyyyy

Haha... The irony makes me laugh

Karma I guess - maybe this will prompt some honesty on the real issues

😂😂😂😂😂😂

These guys are far superior to Trevor Noah. How do we look in the foreign media?

😂😂😂😂 The irony. And they meant to tell us that all will be well?

Oh the Irony!
