South Africans should brace for more loadshedding - Eskom
Rolling blackouts intensified over the weekend due to diesel shortages and power supply from Mozambique’s Cahorra Bassa project being cut in a devastating tropical cyclone.
Eskom's Andrew Etzinger said on Monday it could take up to a week to address the myriad problems plaguing the power system. "We’ve got to make sure that the unprecedented eight at the moment is brought down to 7.65. We’ve got to get the pain going down. We’ll shortly be implementing a surveillance programmes, to pick up these faults before they materialise."“We’ll be offloading diesel from Thursday which will ultimately help both at Ankerlig, as well as Gourikwa, to get up and running and that’s certainly going to make a big difference.
