It's not your imagination, load shedding is way worse in terms of its average severity than in previous months, data for January shows. | BISouthAfrica

was considered a national emergency. But in December, even as much of the economy wound down for the Christmas break, Eskom declared Stage 6 on three different days. The result was an average load-shedding state of just above 3.

In January too Eskom declared Stage 6 on three different days, most recently last night. But it also declared Stage 5 on five separate occasions, and used Stage 4 almost constantly.]As a result, if you tuned in to Eskom's regular declarations of load shedding, the average number you would have heard in January was 4.

As during the coronavirus measures, control would rest with co-operative governance minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, who could delegate authority to other ministers.

BISouthAfrica Why is Mantashe so adamant in bringing Karpowership? For years now his is pushing this where SA will spend money and left with no assets. What kickbacks has he taken?

BISouthAfrica This is political, the government wants the problem to continue so that a national state of disaster can be declared and they can side step all the procurement rules and make money. Fixing the problem is not ANC priority.

BISouthAfrica In just thirty years - ANC alliance and it’s black majority poisoned Africa’s most advanced country with peevish racist policy and laws. Infiltrated every institution & destroyed it. Electricity, education, sanitation, health care, transport, infrastructure.

BISouthAfrica Ah duh, now you wokeists trying tell us something we already know. Do you really think people are so stupid?

BISouthAfrica It seems that somebody else apart from Eskom is pushing the loadshedding!!! Is this a way to bring in the karpowerships

BISouthAfrica And it will only get worse, not better. Every time we get a lower stage, it escalates twice over.

BISouthAfrica What must law abiding citizens do? They keep telling us to pay our bills, but the power is off so much, people aren't able to maintain an income, are throwing away food that spoils daily and sit for hours in gridlock traffic.

BISouthAfrica We know the reason 👇🏽
