Eskom
Embattled power utility Eskom has suspended loadshedding so that South Africans can usher in the new year with the lights on. SA citizens are not impressed.
Russian coal billionaire, Andrey Melnichenko, claims that South Africa's ailing power grid is too weak to support a just transition to clean, renewable energy.
Eskom was not awarded a diesel wholesale licence from the Mineral Resources and Energy Department (DMRE) that would have allowed it to purchase its own fuel.
Wimpy, Mugg & Bean, Steers, Debonairs, Nando's and other fast food brands are beginning to feel the effects of loadshedding, leaving many citizens concerned.
Eskom has increased loadshedding to Stage 4 with immediate effect. SA was angered by the announcement, and many said online that the blackouts are deliberate.
One of South Africa’s favourite fast food chains, KFC, announced that it would temporarily close the doors of some of its restaurants due to loadshedding.
South Africa has officially experienced over 200 days of loadshedding in 2022 alone after Eskom implemented record-breaking and escalating power cuts this year.
Eskom estimated a R20 billion net loss for the current fiscal year and their auditors are concerned. SA reacted online and many wondered they don't privatise.
Eskom will reduce loadshedding to Stage 3 on Saturday morning. SA was frustrated with the announcement, and people said they want to enjoy Christmas with power.
