Creecy said that on a case-by-case basis, legal advice will be taken on whether it is viable to shorten timeframes for applications for environmental authorisation.Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Minister Barbara Creecy says the regulations allow for streamlining of environmental regulations – for the duration of the state of disaster.
But that number is set to rise significantly very soon, when Eskom is explicitly excused from following any of the rules intended to protect water, air, and wildlife. The briefing will be led by the Minister in the Presidency, Mondli Gungubele, Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Minister of Health, Joe Phaahla.
Mantshantsha joined Eskom in 2020 after a long career in journalism, including as a financial reporter with News24. It will be followed by Stage 5 from 16:00 to 05:00 on Tuesday morning. Load shedding will then be reduced to Stage 3 between 05:00 to 16:00 on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Stage 4 will be implemented during 16:00 to 05:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday.

This has weighed down Eskom's operational capacity, impeded cash flows for crucial functions like maintenance and limited its ability to borrow to expand the transmission grid.
The outgoing CEO had on Tuesday given a wide-ranging interview on e.tv's My Guest Tonight with Annika Larsen, where he was outspoken about corruption that had dogged the power utility and lamented law enforcement's response to criminal acts, saying that there were"acts of treason" occurring"on a daily basis" and that"state security are missing in action".
