The president said South Africa will have to bare the impact of load-shedding until progress is made on his plan to rescue Eskom.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has asked for more patience from South Africans regarding Eskom and load-shedding.
“On the issue of stage 4 load-shedding, Eskom continues to face considerable challenges, and as I said, we need it to get about 4,000MW of power, which is in the process of being obtained as we speak.” “Fortunately, they are not continuous. They keep recovering some of the units that fail from time to time,” he added.
“They understand where we are, but they also are appreciative of the measures and steps we are taking on an ongoing basis to repair Eskom,” he added.
