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.

The South African Breweries is planning to start buying renewable electricity that has been generated from the dung of 7 000 cows to its reliance on Eskom.

South Africa's state-owned power utility announced that from Wednesday, 9 March stage 4 loadshedding will be implemented due to breakdowns at power stations.

South Africa's state-owned power utility says loadshedding will continue until Saturday, 12 March due to the failure of units at various power stations in SA.
