Eskom
President Cyril Ramaphosa says Government has taken steps to eventually end loadshedding and asked South Africans to give full support to Eskom board members.
Eskom board member Busisiwe Mavuso was told to behave and leave a meeting after she blamed the ANC-led government for the problems at the state owned entity.
Eskom board member Busisiwe Mavuso walked out of a Standing Committee on Public Accounts meeting after a heated exchange with the committee's chairperson.
The CEO of Eskom Andre de Ruyter said that a says total blackout is unlikely and loadshedding could be downgraded to Stage 3 on Thursday at a media briefing.
Eskom and City Power were in Kliptown Soweto on Wednesday, 20 April to remove dangerous illegal electricity from an informal settlement called Chicken Farm.
Eskom has implemented Stage 4 loadshedding and there is uncertainty surrounding when it would end. SA could experience 101 days' loadshedding in winter months.
The Democratic Alliance has requested that Eskom be declared a state of disaster and the situation must be addressed urgently as loadshedding Stage 4 rolls out.
Minister of transport, Fikile Mbalula said that cost and range anxiety over loadshedding are reasons why electric cars have not been adopted in South Africa.
State-owned power utility Eskom says while loadshedding has been suspended, its generation systems might remain constrained on Monday and Tuesday, 15 March.
