Eskom has admitted that it is battling to keep the lights on due to a lack of diesel, along with financial and structural problems.Standard Bank chief economist Goolam Ballim says that as the lights fade, so are the hopes of the country's projected overall growth rising to new levels.Business Unity CEO Tanya Cohen says that Eskom needs to come up with a concrete plan.
"We think that we really need a concrete plan as a country, we need to have very clear communication, in terms of what the steps are that are being taken by Eskom, and we think that certainly a realistic view of load shedding is required." Meanwhile, Eskom has denied reports that it has started planning for stage 5 and 6 load shedding, as it struggles to keep the country's lights on.
Fin24 reported on Tuesday that officials had started preparations for stage 5 and 6 which would imply shedding 5,000 and 6,000 megawatts, respectively.However, Eskom’s Andrew Etzinger said they hoped to take load shedding to a lower stage over the next few days. "Eskom is implementing stage 4 load shedding with no requirement to take that beyond stage 4, but media reports are to the contrary. There’s no requirement at this stage to escalate to stage 5 and 6."

SA faces 'huge struggle' to overcome load-shedding: Pravin Gordhan“We understand the frustration. We don’t have a magic formula. This not about whether Pravin Gordhan or Jabu Mabuza or Phakamani Hadebe single-handedly have a magic wand that can actually enable us to wave that wand and say loadshedding is over.” Incompetence abounds. If they are just doing investigations now....pathetic. Corrupt. Useless Recoup every cent that was lotted from ESKOM and do good things simple as that To be honest if leaders like this can’t solve national problem then they don’t deserve to be in that position. Their salary scale doesn’t justify their job.
