Eskom
Eskom announced it is increasing loadshedding to stage 3, extending into Saturday afternoon due to generating unit issues. South Africans protested online.
President Cyril Ramaphosa takes charge of eliminating load shedding issues. A pledge to address and resolve the ongoing challenges bringing relief to the nation.
Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, the Minister of Electricity, revealed that the country should expect to experience stages 2 and 1 successively until further notice.
Eskom's Koeberg Unit succesfully completed a load rejection test, which means it can withstand the loss of power. South Africans snubbed the announcement.
Loadshedding was officially implemented on 2 January after the country experienced a festive season free of blackouts, and South Africans are mad.
Eskom's abrupt announcement of the return of loadshedding frustrated citizens. The company blamed maintenance issues and high electricity demand for the decision.
Eskom threwthe country into darkness many times in 2023 and this devastated businesses, the economy, township enterprises and people's personal lives.
Eskom announced that Kusile's new Unit 5 is online and has been synchronised to the system and is expected to generate 800MW of electricity to the grid.
Eskom revealed that loadsheding is expected to resume on 5 January after a short break during the second half of the festive season. South Africans have had it.
