Due to some improvements in the generation capacity over the past 24 hours, Stage 3 load shedding will remain in force until further notice, Eskom announced on Wednesday afternoon.
A generating unit each at Arnot, Grootvlei, Kriel, and Tutuka power stations has been returned to service. During the same period a generating unit each at Lethabo, and two units at Kriel power stations were taken offline for repairs. The return to service of a generating unit each at Hendrina and Medupi power stations is delayed.
Eskom said that over the past 24 hours, a generating unit at Arnot Power Station was successfully returned to service. The return to service of a generating unit each at Hendrina, Medupi and Tutuka, power stations has been delayed. The repairs to the damaged towers from Cahora Bassa in Mozambique are continuing and are anticipated to be completed by early next week, Eskom said.
A generating unit each at Camden, Lethabo, Kriel, Majuba and Matimba power stations has been successfully returned to service during this period. Furthermore, the return to service of a generating unit each at Hendrina, Medupi and Tutuka power stations was delayed, and the repairs to the damaged towers from Cahora Bassa is taking longer than anticipated, Eskom said.After 05:00 on Tuesday, load shedding will be reduced to Stage 3 until 16:00. Stage 4 will then be implemented from 16:00 until 05:00 on Wednesday morning, Eskom said.
For bigger projects they we are working on regulations to allow solar and battery storage projects to go through an expedited process. This is for areas of low environmental sensitivity."It is not our intention to introduce blanket exemptions from these provisions."
The impact of the NationalShutDown 😂😂😂
Afraid of nationalshutdown
Wtf ya saying......these thing of political reporting
Can't believe we reached a level where stage 3 load shedding is considered a relief.
Nyoko!!!!!!
Lol it's all mind games and weak people are excited for these news..
🤡🙈
What ramaphosa is doing for the white elite must be very big ...now the media wants people to celebrate loadshedding stages...this is scary
Fokol relief. There will only be relief once loadshedding ends entirely. This ‘be happy’ because it’s a lower stage is misguided
They say it like it’s a favor 🥲
Tsek
FOff
What a joke!
Level 3 is not relief. What gutter journalism is this ?
Back in the days this would’ve been followed by a twitter and public storm.
No difference between stage 3 and stage 4. I still have 4 hours of no electricity today. Don't be fooled.
Hahahaha but we are still 6 hours off! Bunch of clowns. And then you help with this pro ANC government propoganda. Ffs
Relief!? Meh
WTF, relief. Rubbish
SA will get relief if News24 get banned for treason maybe.
It's not a relief because it's the same as stage 4 the only thing that changed is a number. We still go 6hours without electricity
And should we be happy and thank them, f&ck that! It will be back to stage 6 in no time
Nice set for a horror scene (that Im sure folk in Braam where this shot was taken, no doubt have their fair share of.)
Is that a relief?
Oh when you said relief i thought you meant no more loadshedding Any ways i might just support the NationalShutdown
This won't change what is going to happen on Monday.we don't need loadsheddind at all
The NationalShutdown is still going ahead
...how's that grid holding up? Did you pay off the cartel members to quiet down for a few weeks. Let's see this last. Eventually people will get greedy again.
😂😂😂 Relief is having no loadshedding. Is eskom paying you for dumb headline?
pmcafrica Businesses are still suffering
You would swear this is a government owned newspaper
Until tomorrow
Eskom chair say SA should not complain about stage 3, now news24 is perpetuating the message. SA can't settle for any loadsheding - so what relief is news24 talking about MmusiMaimane HermanMashaba Enghumbhini
SA media is sick. We are at stage three you are talking loadsheding relief - what are you talking about
Is this an achievement?
pmcafrica 🚮🚮🚮🚮
That stratcom under ramaphosa for you. They call nonsense a relief 🤣🤣🤣
Kudlalwa ngathi ke Manje
I hope is not our tax money
Relief is not bleeding out the missing limb. Relief is stage 0.
You guys have no shame, reporting as if they're doing this country a favour msunu yenu🖕🏾
Loadshedding relief funds ziza nini
Whoop Dee Doo

All you do is increase shedding on stage 3 to the same level as 5. Stop taking us for a poes Eskom_SA
Relief?
Blacks cant govern
'Relief'
Oooh send free bubbles! Let’s celebrate 🙄

I never learn, forgot, that is how they hook you in... sticking to 3 you say? ... ok ... will see how that fails
RELIEF ❓️❓️Heban
Load shedding relief you say?
Fotsek
It's NOT a relief though. NO loadshedding at all would be a relief. ANC being removed would be a relief. The criminals and cartel who have fcked getting arrested or put down would be a relief! But you know 3rd world country things
What relief is that? Only relief to be celebrated is no loadshedding
What relief….. we sit without power every week due to electrical cables burnt at the power station or substation tripped etc and once the power gets restored we shed for 4 hours ?
My stage 3 schedule to stage 6 schedule is exactly the same so nothing for me to celebrate.
That’s still mediocrity.
Relief se ma se ......
That’s because businesses are closing rapidly.
LoL so nifuna si celebrate ke ngoku?
What's the difference between stage 3,4,5 or 6?😏 We are just been taken for a ride. Let's join EFF's protest
Because of the NationalShutdown
Loadshedding stage 6 in 5...4...3...2...
Relief ?....I pay for electricity 24/7 and time we demanded it.
Is that a relief?😱
There is no such relief. Stop praising rubbish. We want electricity not stage 3.
Relief is no load shedding zinja!!
Voetsek!
Calling this nonsense 'relief' Loadshedding is not normal. There's no relief here, it's below bare minimum. Eskom got an increase, changed CEO, board and a bail out! Loadshedding is not NORMAL!
🤣🤣
And you call ir relief , something we are not even supposed to be having
Like serious, so we are going to celebrate being loadshed for 3 hours
🤣🤣🤣🤣 WHAT RELIEF ITS A IOKE RIGHT
Relief yokunya!
Lea bapala lena.
Until they push it to stage 6.
Where's that poes who said we should be thankful for lower stage loadshedding? This stage 3 won't last long..

Reliefanyana nje!
Voetsek, there is no relief
Kuyafana because it's still 6 hours a day
And you call that a relief for South Africans🤔🤔
They are playing with stages, but in reality, nothing changes.
They are burning diesel over budget ? Eskom_SA
pmcafrica No difference
what difference does it make our power is off daily for no reason
Are we here now as a country? 😅
This is a preparation for higher stages of loadshedding....
Good luck south Africa
pmcafrica We will call it a relief when we reach stage zero
Power went off for 30 minutes what level of loadshedding is that
Weeeeee
Pull the piss out if it why don't you! WTF - we are not simple minded! The norm is no loadshedding why should we go whoop, whoop for stage frigging 3. Maybe if you were affected you would notice most of the time it makes no difference. 🤬👹
pmcafrica Let's celebrate 🥳🥳🥳
Relief yokunuka and come 20 March music ll play
Seriously! Relief?
Ahh the mouth piece is telling us to be relieved how nice 🙄
Oh wow. Let me bow and scrape in deep gratitude 🙏🏻….. Not.
Good news , what a relief
They're preparing for 2024 elections. After that we'll go stage 24. I ain't fooled. They must continue with this stage 6 and more until 2024.
This means nothing to me I still have no electricity for 6hours of the day at stage 3😒
Eskom Chairman says we must be thankful. Thank you, Eskom for not doing your basic job
Lol
Gate re celebrate🙄
You call stage 3 a relief?
Lol Mara y’all don’t challenge these
So we must celebrate this nosense 😒
Lies
Strange how electricity supply increases the moment a certain vice-president resigned. How a big influence was he iro Escom?
Mxxx!!
That's not a 'Relief'. We still on it.
Which won't last. We will be told 5 units have tripped we are going to stage 5.
pmcafrica Durban right now 🙌
For a day yeah
They're trying to sabotage Nationalshutdown..
Ni dizzy as always nina🚮
Next week we will be on stage 2 & stage 3. This weekend we will be on stage 1 again.
IT IS NOT STAGE 3, 6 hours a day is NOT stage 3, they are lying as always. They just call stages per 2 hours now stage 3 & NOT the whole day having 6 hours of blackouts
pmcafrica Voetsek!! That's like saying my husband no longer punches me, atleast now he slaps me. Tsek!!
Relief my Foot,Even Stage 1 is not needed
