Eskom said Stage 6 load shedding will be implemented on Monday, with the possibility of higher stages.More than half of Eskom's installed capacity of 48 000MW was out of service on Monday morning.
South Africa is now the closest it has ever been to Stage 8 load shedding, which will mean no electricity for 12 to 14 hours a day.Planned outages - for maintenance work - only account for 14% of the generation capacity that is currently offline.
This new minister of electricity...part of the smoke behind capture is eskom
Coal is the main source of energy. Why can't Eskom devise any mechanism to detect if the coal it gets is suitable or not
Energy mix would be the solution for SA, Eskom alone failed
CyrilRamaphosa hey cyril sort it out. It’s embarrassing.
OH STOP THE PATHALOGICAL BS - WE ARE ALREADY AT STAGE 8 (POSING AS 5 AND 6)!!!! AND WILL BE THERE AND BEYOND UNTIL THE CARTELS INSTALLED IN ESKOM WHO STEAL 1BILLION A MONTH ARE UNINSTALLED!!!
More than half and you brag about it first it was sunday night now it changed to monday watch the lues unfolding why are nothing repaired yet as it is a disaster which eskom stretch out now to show they can destroy the economy completely
Or is it because the budget speech will be a plea for more tax or funding to prop up Eskom? Oh, and how much will the minister of lightbulbs cost again?
Let's give a loud applaud to the minister of electricity, the corrupt ANC, the so-called president who doesn't give a sh!t about the people, and of course, the esteemed Mantashe and his Karpower plan. Say bye-bye to investors and hello to yet another screwed up country in Africa
Now they do have the opportunity to brake there own record so go for it maybe they will be rewarded for that.
Wonder how the employees of Eskom feels , branding them as working for a useless corrupt company
Yeah but go and fire all the experienced white engineers. This country deserves Stage 10 because of its stupid commitment to ideology above reality. Going to enjoy seeing the ANC voting fools filling up the unemployment queues
That’s when you kick the cat out and switch the lights off
Why can’t we just dictate South Africa ourselves
It's soooooo painful what's happening loadshedding to see places where almost 90% doesn't pay electricity but they hardly sleep in the dark. We pay electricity but it's switched off at 6pm, comes back at 8pm and gone again after 15 min 😭😭😭 what you do to us is painful
Had a mate who studied engineering on an eskom bursary. Had to work it back after, the lad was truly genius. He was told that his services would not be required due to diversity reasons. He is working in the netherlands now. I assume he wasn’t the only one. grats ANC
Who controls eskom?
Super efficient!!!! GAT Vol. 3.5 hrs of electricity today. 2 double load sheds and not restored after load shedding so make that a triple. Sucks.
Is there no way to verify what Eskom tells us?
Is there no other company that can do this, ekom obviously can't?
Matemela is attending summits and shit
What is the cause Electricity mafia ?
Hear me out... just switch it off forever. We'll make a plan.
The state is still captured.
How did they manage that? Send people around to pull out fuses?
This is impossible, not even improbable anymore. Engineering doesn't work like this. Someone is lying. Generator units do not work on telepathy.
Rand will tank probably more this year. No one can save SA. Thank you, ANC, and to all their voters aswell you are truly troopers.
I will keep on saying, stop using sub-standard parts, machinery and contractor's, also let ESKOM show us their maintenance and replacement records of the last 25 year's of all power plants
More companies are closing doors and taking their business over the waters. By the end of 2023, unemployment will stand where? No electricity no business
...a men made problem to make way for green energy. eskom is deliberately made to fail at our expense while europe and america still use fossil fuels. CR and his current cabinet is a threat to the stability of this country.
Well done
We have been on stage 8 long time, what's left is for them to close down completely nothing left
It seems that State Capture is still rife in Eskom. JZ must be very proud!
Eskoms mothers tits
it's a new record that their not doing their job 🤔 where is accountability,new record of failure eskom that's what their saying now we failing worst & we are proud to tell southafrican about this improved failure 😉 DenzilTaylor MbalulaFikile Thabisoo
Imagine a company that simply just accepts 50% of it employees sitting ar home 🤦♂️
More bad news from Eskom_SA useless outgoing CEO AndredeRuyter. He has perfected the knack of disassociating himself from any responsibility. loadsheddingstage6 DPE_ZA DMRE_ZA GwedeMantashe1 PresidencyZA
This place‼️🤬
I am glad Cyril new dawn ramaposa is showing everyone flames 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ramaphosa rea o rata kaofela le tsamaya le wena
Sies rubbish new dawn. May God save SAns from this savage called anc gvt
Eskom Reliability program is failing at a catastrophic rate.
CyrilRamaphosa is as USELESS AS ESKOM. HE IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS. WHAT A USELESS PRESIDENT. THIS IS AN OLD AS ADAM AND EVE PROBLEM GOING BACK TO WHEN THE ANC CAME INTO POWER. NOTHING HAS GONE ACCORDINGLY TO 'PROMISES' MADE. ACTUALLY MATTERS DETERIORATED
Anc govt f--ked this country up properly.
Open the sector up to competition, Eskom is finished.
WTF Eksdom ...you got your increase , your news maker of the year , you got a state of disaster , Du Ruyters leaving , you got your own minister soon , A board who's only task is to stop loadshedding but now we are at stage 6 ...WTF more do you want to start working proparly
Planned, unplanned, scheduled, unscheduled blame the management, blame the past. This all sounds the same same. I think eskom employees are waiting for the solar tax brake so that they side hustle some more. My opinion
What happened to the money Eskom asking for every year?
A once prosperous country bought to its knees thanks to the theives of the ANC CyrilRamaphosa U have played a massive roll in this destruction with indecisiveness lack of vision & no foresight The people are reaching boiling point With stage 8 on the cards where too now
will not end when we get a min of electricity. We're being set up for the Karpowerships deal that's all. Rain is such a new phenomenon for SA that it stops delivery of coal to power station. They're supposed to have some 10 days worth in supply. Make more money in export coal.
If only Eskom had a steady stream of income over the years along with maybe a 100% shareholder who could have easily sold some shares to raise capital. If only we didn't have these high expectations thinking that Eskom must supply power like it's their job shame.
And so Escom get worse and worse no new minister Will get it better this is a call for us to start prepare for the worst
Yet 500 white workers needs to go 🙈 Ramapush
🤣🤣🤣 Did you just say Eskom confirmed 'this is a new record'? 🤣🤣🤣 Usually this phrase has positive connotations but there is nothing positive about Esk9m confirming they are getting worse!!! Right?
ESKOM IS TAKING SOUTH AFRICA AS A CROWD OF STUPID. THIS IS THE RESULT OF TAKING ALL THE MONEY AND NOT MAINTAINING THE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE DON'T NEED A MINISTER OF ELECTRICITY, AS IT'S GOING TO BE JUST ANOTHER DEEP POCKET VULTURES......
I assume the reason they appointed a minister for electricity is the same reason they appointed a minister of police. To do absolutely nothing?
I love the way Eskom is putting the soft signal for stage 8 all over the media today, in the same way your partner might casually suggest may be time to change things up in the bedroom and that you might want look into buying some daiquiri flavoured lube.
It's too coincidental now. No way are they failing at the same time.
Breaking records you sound so fing proud typical SA... Lets break records of how fast we can break and steal!!
Imagine this happening anywhere else. The people would never stand for this. Here in this shit heap country everyone just accepts. I'm shocked nobody has been attacked or killed over this shit yet
Viva ANC Viva You have done us proudly by destroying this beautiful land
Its an absolute disgrace!! Just shows the incompetence of the ANC. A once great and self sufficient nation has been reduced to ashes in 30yrs!!!!
Where is the evidence of these power stations giving up? Can we have the CCTV footage of this happening? This media just plays the game with this government.
Thanks to Andre DE Ruyter and Pravin Jamnandas Gordan leadership 👌 They are really working overtime ✊
We are certainly flirting with Stage 8 at the moment😳
When at stage 6, a multiple unit trip at Medupi would take us to stage 8.
So, then it's true! We are getting closer to a total shutdown 🤔
So what does the state of disaster mean then? It's just gotten worse since you've declared it. Did it basically just give you permission to destroy the infrastructure and put even higher stages of loadshedding?
Get a new board or wait you tried that before ohki get a minister let's try that
All the sona debates for nothing. Empty promises
Well s8 is essentially a 'cute' way of saying 'grid failure inevitable'... things are failing faster than they can fix it EVEN IF they used top experts, my opinion yes, but remember last year this time it was s2.
Attempt is being made by Gov to normalise Stage 6 (and plus) to the population prior to the next elections. Mission accomplished with Stage 4, or did it.
CyrilRamaphosa what are you doing visiting other countries instead of fixing your own
Where I live we have 11.5 hours on stage 6, stage 8 is just 2 more hours so bring it on, let the whole country feel the pain, and then maybe the ANC can finally go.
I wonder what the minister of electricity/ project manager will do for eskom that the minister of energy and minister of enterprises has not done ......we in deep trouble these politicians lie all the time
So with 12 000MW generation capacity down, but loadshedding stops at 8000MW (stage 8)... So technically we're on stage 12, with a schedule that says we're on Stage 6 but stage 8 loadshedding hours apply? I need a Myprodol!
After twenty years of ANC black majority sponsored ethnic cleansing of white expertise and experience from state enterprises the collapse of electricity is finally here. We have seen it before SAA, Denel and PRASA. The total collapse of a whole country.
Must be nice to work here. In private sector heads roll! , last year head of IT at SBSA got sacked after those many instances of App and digital channel services outage....kodwa kwa Eskom you can literally generate 1MW and no one will be fired....
Hey maybe Lindiwe's tourists can visit darkest Africa
I don't believe anything this government says or does anymore and certainly don't believe this loadshedding BS either. It is deliberate. The only thing this cANCer is OVERLY committed to at present is loadshedding and their commitment is NEVER without GAIN.
I’m now convinced💔💔💔
eskomsalaryshedding , 40000 employees at Eskom that cannot fix anything so let's start Salary shedding stage 2,3,4 30% of their salary stage 5,6 40% of their salary and see how quickly the problem is fixed or no more load shedding then we start governementsalaryshedding
1hr a day of electricity is now a reality… I guess even if we get 1hr we will be lucky… time to go to basics! Old tried and tested fire will keep us warm in winter and cook our food! Candles for light! This catalyst might force us all to break our dependence on fossil fuels!
We can see you Eskom, building a nice case for 20 March
This is deliberate...
Stage 8 is imminent at this point! 🙆🏿♂️
Where is the Minister of Electricity PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa GovernmentZA
Eskom, breaking records one day at a time, South Africa, supporting rogue regimes, one regime at a time
Stage 8 is looming closer than ever but apparently new generation capacity will be added in the coming month, how long can we sustain stage 4 - 8 loadshedding
Is Ramaphosa back as yet...?
