Eskom promises to keep the lights on, on Christmas Day - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The power utility says the suspension of rolling blackouts for Christmas day is due to the lower demand in electricity.

However, Eskom says that Stage 3 load shedding will be implemented from Tuesday the 27th of December as the generation fleet remains unpredictable and vulnerable. The Western Cape Agriculture Minister, Ivan Meyer, has appealed to Eskom to make special provision regarding rolling blackouts for farmers who are harvesting now. This is necessary to protect jobs in the provincial agriculture sector.

Meyer says he received several complaints in the past weeks from farmers preparing to harvest. He says adjusting the daytime rolling blackouts schedule to the sector’s needs would assist in sustaining and create the much-needed jobs in the rural towns of the Western Cape. The Chairperson of the Eskom Task Team says rolling blackouts are compromising job security and stifling economic growth.“We must also confront other developmental challenges including energy instability that presents itself through load shedding which harms the economy productivity to generate the necessary jobs and growth.
