A singer's innovative solution to cooking during load shedding using a cheese grater has inspired Mzansi, while Eskom explains the return to extended power cuts.

South Africans are accusing Electricity Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa of staging an incident after his power went off during a live interview on SABC News.

Electricity Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said loadshedding would continue until 28 February after Eskom implemented Stages 3 and 6. SA was angry.

State-owned enterprise Eskom announced that the country would experience Stage 6 loadshedding after multiple units at three power stations broke down.

Eskom has announced that it was implementing Stage 3 loadshedding until further notice, but South Africans believe it's because of the failed budget speech.

Eskom announced that loadshedding has been suspended after implementing Stage 3 loadshedding over the weekend. South Africans don't believe that it's gone.

South Africans were angry at the return of loadshedding, which Eskom announced on 31 January 2025 due to unexpected breakdowns at power stations.

Eskom warned that there is a high risk of loadshedding this weekend, but many feel the power utility is throwing tantrums for not getting their 36% tariff increase.

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa has approved a a 12.7% tariff hike for Eskom, but South Africans have had enough of having to pay more.
