JOHANNESBURG - Energy analyst Sampson Mamphweli warns that South Africa is heading towards a total blackout.In a briefing earlier, the power utility explained it had suffered significant losses overnight.It adds the current strike by employees also poses a serious challenge.
"The strike itself came at the wrong time because it came at a time when the system is heavily constrained with more than 40 megawatts that's not available due to a number of factors like breakdowns," Mamphweli said."So, it is quite difficult. The coal fleet isn't performing. They gave details in terms of the backlog and the maintenance.
They must stop milking millions of rand to deal with situation like this.... Corruption shall never help
Hebannnnnnna
We are led by old people who are not working on making SA a better country but are working on filling their pockets and making sure their families are safe and ready to leave SA when things get bad. South Africa is celebrating nothing but kakistocracy. Relaxed generation💯
The MYANC terrorrists are fuking this country up totally! Say it like it is
We're not yet there
Yes we know that they failed us on many levels.
Dis Country no long south Africa ke AFRICA SOUTH 😢 😢
You don't need to be an analyst to figure that one out!!!
Let's go brev
How am I going to charge my electric 🚗lol
If hindsight was foresight and foresight hindsight. Would it's still by a problem
Opposition parties are not proposing any solution to this problem other than criticizing ANC like us......... they will be surprised when ANC win again in 2024
Ya mabaCime totally till they get there affairs in order. Thina we'll be focusing on fighting for petrol nabo of it's too much mabawuvale till they fine we will focus on the high food prices

We need the DA in power an a white president . Time to face the truth . Black's can't rule .
Rogue Eskom employees holding power utility at ransom ... it is akin to a 3-year old todler playing with the boss' cigarette lighter in a gas factory.
Viva ANC Viva
Unions must be happy!
lord have Mercy
You can bet on it...
Will we still be billed if there is a blackouts, seeing that it’s usage based?
HF Verwoerd used the Torah to enslave Black people…it’s an open secret, shrouded by mythology💁🏾♂️
How a country can be brought to its knees by a failed governing party and a group of power hungry money grabbing rogues is absolutely incomprehensible. There is much more to this than meets the eye. 2024 is much to late to get rid of the ANC. Our country has been destroyed.
The Eskom crisis in South Africa has got nothing to do with electricity…it’s Boers and Jews bragging to the world how they manipulate our emotions and control our behavior. These blackouts were planned 74 yrs ago already by HF Verwoerd and.💁🏾♂️ just like black on black violence…
Judging from what we are experiencing now we are already there, 8 hours of blackout
I don't know if I'm shocked or what
Game over
We are fucked 😭
Alberante had a total of 3 hours of electricity today. How is a “civilized” society expected to function under these conditions? bananarepublic useless
I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.
Is it not what you guys wanted all along?
Surely people striking and holding the country hostage should be seen as a form of domestic terrorism?
Criminals are in charge of us no one save us
Don’t need an analyst to tell you that, proof is if the pudding
This was Tuesday.. old news being regurgitated
RRespawned VoetsekANC 🖕 They are worse than Apartheid.
A total blackout as in no electricity at all?
zeeflatt Yikaka yantoni le ? CyrilRamaphosa
I blame the useless MYANC voters for this mess. This country does not deserve any more day under the thieving government of incompetent looters, and the Eskom CEO should also fotsek. Clearly he is just drawing a huge salary for being useless too
Mxm they think is funny xem
this article is 2 days old and badly written. I do agree we are in a bad state but fear mongery just to generate clicks are also appealing. What are ypu trying to accomplish by sharing this 2 day old news?
I just want to let you all know that this total blackout is absolutely uneccessary. Striking for money causes is to be 11 hours per day without power. Fire the strikers and employ those WHO WANT TO WORK! I am ashamed of the downwards direction our once Beautiful country has gone
Sooner than we think.
That's what happens when clowns run the country, clowns run the unions and clowns work at Eskom

That may as well be true. Being without power for 4 hours, twice a day👇 Equals to a day of production being lost. 8 hours, is a working day🕗 Local economies, just lost a day's worth of money. What comes next, a higher 'stage' of crimes?🤔 Nothing good, ever came from hunger 🤞
When we say this is how Zimbabwe's downfall started we look like negative people. But ZA for all intents and purposes is in serious trouble!!
Wendy94669657 🙈🙈🙈🙈 what's the meaning of this, generators with expensive petrol🙆♀️ True, the South African economy is in crises those who wanted to sabotage Eskom they are also suffering,
Our ancestors lived without electricity, will do it again until a better more improved company comes to rescue South Africa.
Doomed country.
Guys please share any international job vacancies. I promise I will pray for y'all abroad
Eskom will cripple the country, maybe this is our TIPPING POINT, NUMSA and the people will win
Cyril will be so shocked that we will need medics on stand by for sure this time.
ramaphosamustfall
Anyone know where CyrilRamaphosa is?
😂 wow
Last July unrest and this July total darkness .State capture reports brings us the worst reaction.
Ay velani nucishe kulungile...
But hey....let's keep on voting for the ANC 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Weeeh
So where exactly are we on the South African doomsday clock
Please call Russia's president to take this country and own it 😄
Okay
Stage 8🤔
🚮🚮🚮🚮🇿🇦
Whatever makes you happy
30 000 people holding the country and its very fragile economy hostage. Politicians and police doing nothing When is enough enough?
Rubbish country…..exactly where it belongs…..third world country which thinks it’s a first world country
No, ANC is pushing SA to a total blackout - say it the way it is 😡
Bringing south africa to its knees but at the end of the day we will all suffer from this somewhat

Moving SA to stage 6 load-shedding is unacceptable, says black businessThe Black Business Council’s CEO Kganki Matabane has again called for the axing of Eskom’s executives after the implementation of stage 6 load-shedding. Piss off and blame the ANC not the people trying to right the wrongs. I read an article about Bamber__Michael and visited their website. I was so impressed; I found everything I was looking for in one place. Great advice, clear instructions, the ability to invest and get my return, so after 5 days of making my initial deposit I received my profit Maybe we should start White Business Council…

EDITORIAL | Eskom strikers have won, but at what cost to themselves and SA?They may have got slightly higher wage hikes, but they have hugely damaged the economy they and we have to live in The biggest problem is with the man in the picture who is protected by the media and the establishment. As long as we have electricity we should be greatful to the workers 🙏 just get Eskom working and save us from all your nonsensical excuses These workers and ANC voters in general are very short-sighted. They want want want now. No thought to how things will be long term.
