Loadshedding
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.
South Africans are annoyed with SAPS' admission that they struggle during load reduction as well, saying they split the fuel between the vehicles and the generators.
Eskom announced that loadshedding has been suspended after implementing Stage 3 loadshedding over the weekend. South Africans don't believe that it's gone.
The Democratic Alliance and the MK Party slammed the return of loadshedding after its absence for 10 months. The DA called it a devastating setback.
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.
Eskom celebrated preventing loadshedding for 300 days, and said it is aiming for 365 days. South Africans criticised it for load reduction and continued outages.
