Stage 6 load-shedding to continue, with Eskom saying it will take time to recover from strike action

“Depending on several possibilities — including the workforce fully returning to work to conduct much needed repairs to equipment — it is anticipated that load-shedding will gradually be lowered to stage 2 by the weekend,” it added.

Eskom was expected to continue with stage 4 until midnight on Sunday and thereafter enforce stage 2 until 5am. Stage 4 will be implemented from 5am until 4pm and then stage 6 until 10pm. From 10pm until midnight, stage 4 will be rolled out again. Eskom said it currently had 3,384MW on planned maintenance while 18,319MW of capacity was unavailable due to breakdowns.

The power utility reminded consumers it implemented load-shedding as a last resort to protect the national grid. It called on consumers to continue to use electricity sparingly.

Eskom_SA we are yet to see how you or your bee quota staff is being held accountable for this.we suffer losses. So where is the consequence management on your side? CyrilRamaphosa

Thank God the DA is looking after us in CapeTown. I feel so sorry for the rest of SouthAfrica. 😔

Durban is partying 🎉💯😍 zero load shedding 🍻🥃🍾

So how does eskom know if there be power shortages a day for it happens? Do they have a crystal ball or something

If the powers-that-be at ESKOM thought that SAns will sympathise with it against striking workers,it needs a review of its failing failed strategy.Workers demand their cut of the slice amid rampant corruption that occurred at the facility! How much is the CEO's salary/annum?

Sick fucs.. and we know it's a scam.. Just like that climate change this new world order psychopaths are pushing. There is no power crisis at Eskom.. all engineered!
