Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented from 09:00 on Sunday morning until further notice, Eskom announced.25 February 17:30Eskom will implement stage 5 load shedding from 5am on Sunday morning until further notice. The utility said it will publish a full statement in due course.Eskom chief financial officer Calib Cassim has been appointed as interim CEO following the abrupt departure of André de Ruyter.
Discovery CEO Adrian Gore on Thursday described the rampant load shedding being endured by South Africans as"unacceptable", but he believes the government and private sector can still find a solution to the country's energy crisis. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana says that former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter"was economical with the truth" in his comments about corruption at Eskom in a recent interview.
Eskom chief executive André de Ruyter left the power utility"with immediate effect" on Wednesday night after launching an extraordinary attack on the government and the ANC the day before, stating they are stuck in the 1980s, that"Marx and Lenin" haunt Luthuli House and that a"senior politician" is involved in corruption at Eskom.
"Following the convening of a special board meeting on 22 February 2023, the Eskom Board and Group Chief Executive André de Ruyter have reached mutual agreement to curtail his notice period to 28 February 2023," spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said in a statement. De Ruyter further claimed that a State Security Agency operative was dispatched to watch him at COP27.
Heavy rains have also prevented coal delivery from the New Vaal Mine to Lethabo power station. Lethabo's three running units are at risk of shutting down if coal supply constraints are not resolved. We wish to buy gas, but we do not particular want to invest in gas infrastructure - especially at Richards Bay projectHe cannot confirm that contractors were fired. Conradie: If more maintenance was done, there would have been higher load shedding. But when they realised Kusile units were not returning sooner, things were"optimised". De Ruyter runs through arrests for coal theft"and the battle against crime and corruption".
"The three running units are operating at minimum capacity and are at risk of shutdown should the coal supply constraints not be resolved."Stage 4 load shedding will continue to be implemented until further notice while Stage 6 will be implemented at 20:00 on Sunday night until 05:00 on Monday morning, Eskom announced on Sunday afternoon.
"The reactor responded to the turbine trip by reducing power and it remained critical, as designed, with no nuclear safety consequences. This enabled the unit to be returned to service quickly and the unit was resynchronised to the grid just before 07:00 this morning," said Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha.
"[V]andalism and theft have extended to include pylons, whose tower members are often stolen by unscrupulous criminal elements, resulting in the steel structures collapsing and posing extreme danger to members of the public," Eskom said. But less than two years after the Covid-19 pandemic flattened business in the area and led to many closing shops, Prisca Horonga, the cafe’s owner, who works up to 12 hours and employs three people, says it is facing another existential crisis.
