He cannot confirm that contractors were fired. Conradie: There was plans for higher maintenance. Conradie: to achieve EAF of 60% by end of financial year is not possible"Arresting the foot soldiers by themselves" is not going to stop the corruption, he said. The"upper echelons" need to be targeted. De Ruyter: The reason we have load shedding is to maintain 50 hertz frequency. Load shedding is the lever used to protect the system from a total blackout.
The power utility said due to the high amount of breakdowns, there is a possibility of further changes on the stages of load shedding at short notice. A further update will be published as soon as any significant changes occur. The unit is expected to increase power over the course of Saturday. Stage 4 load shedding however will continue until further notice, Eskom said.Stage 4 load shedding 'until further notice'
"The vandalism and theft of infrastructure also come at great financial loss to the utiltiy, which is forced to replace the same at significant and unsustainable costs, further threatening its liquidity and mandate to provide electricity."Over the past few weeks, South African policymakers have made important strides forward as they aim to unleash a rooftop solar power boom.
Since 2022, there have been scheduled blackouts, or load shedding, across the country for as long as 10 hours per day at a time.Church of England pension board says SA’s climate plans send 'powerful signals' to investors "Over the past 24 hours two generating units at Arnot and one at Kendal power stations suffered breakdowns and were taken offline for repairs. The return to service of a generating unit each at Lethabo and Hendrina power stations were delayed
The study was cited on Wednesday by the Centre for Environmental Rights, a legal organisation representing environmental activist organisations in its submission to a panel on air pollution. Scrutiny on SA's use of $8.5bn climate funds as 'hungry competitor' nations nip at its heels Ramaphosa will deliver his seventh State of the Nation Address on Thursday evening as the country faces unprecedented levels of electricity blackouts, a cost-of-living crisis, failing local governments, rising crime and unemployment and poverty that continues unabated.
Makwana appeared before three parliamentary committees alongside CEO André de Ruyter and chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer to answer questions on what could be done to end load shedding.De Ruyter: Eskom isn't anti-coal - it will continue to fuel power until at least 2071 Electricity is needed to load grain into storage silos and to unload these again later to be transported to processors like mills. It is also impossible to keep the grain dry and ventilated without electricity.It's no to a wealth tax and yes to tax breaks for home solar - Kieswetter
"The implementation of load shedding will remain at Stage 4 during 16:00 - 05:00 and Stage 3 at 05:00 - 16:00 daily until further notice," spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said in a short announcement. There was no further details in Eskom's announcement.South Africa’s electricity crisis is costing the economy as much as R899 million per day, according to central bank estimates.
Stage 3 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 to 16:00 daily, while Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented nightly from 16:00 to 05:00 on both Monday and Tuesday, the utility announced.
The sooner he resigns the sooner Eskom gets better. This one is a big problem for Eskom.
Minister of electricity- Hold my beer 🍺

I thought you resigned my guy.
I thought he resigned!!!
I thought this man resigned, so why is he still here?🤔
...but De ruyter must go now. Maybe, the president will coopt him as an advisor - on the ANC Exec.
Kganthe setlaela se se tsamaya neng nah
I read comments below and it seems people are blaming this man for load shedding. Sure, he was also the Eskom boss, but the problem at Eskom is 100% the fault of our corrupt MYANC government, especially Zuma, Molefe and the Guptas! Do you realize we're in the crisis from 2008?
Kanti when is he leaving?
When is this incompetent pensioner leaving the office?
No white person will blame this scam called De Ryter
We had 8 hours of loadshedding. Started at 8pm last night to 12am and again at 2am to 6am. Well done Eskom. Why should we believe the biggest lying mampara of the year?
💔💔💔💔😡😡😡😡😡😡🤷♂️
I wish it can lasts until the next election… we wanna see something
Why is this one he is still given platform to speak to us vele?
Epitome of incompetent mediocre pink male... ander de ruyter.
Minister of Electricity
What is he still doing at Eskom?
That's why we on stage 6,this useless CEO is still around Eskom. mxn
This stage 8 and 11 games...are a serious built up to a total shutdown...but you will realise later...🤞🏻🤞🏻
AthiMtongana SABCNews SophieMokoena9 South African media everyday headlines on Eskom, they are still in denial that electricity can be a lifetime of problem, in Zimbabwe we have matured and graduated. New house, solar system and borehole.
I thought this chap resigned...enden?
Why is he still involved in eskom affairs?
Who then resigned as CEO at Eskom? Or there's a new meaning for resignation under 'new normal' 🥺🥺
Ah yes.....until Wednesday, the same day Enoch is presenting the budget, with government set to take on some of Eskom's debt. Higher load shedding stages = push for government to take on more debt.....?
Why is this useless man still at Eskom?
Minqundu
De Ruyter is not honest with us.
You clearly don’t know what you doing in that job! Imagine if you worked in the UK or the US and you delivered a performance like this? You would have being FIRED ages ago! You not a leader at all.
Yes, then it will become stage 8.
and then?
Allegedly de Ruyter the Lord of blackouts and loadsheding is enjoying his reign at ESKOM. Hope you understand
So it's plan kahle'kahle...you planned stage 6 to last until Wednesday..please take us to stage 11
Stage6Loadshedding
Cannot take any of eskoms predictions about the load shedding stages
Then SA will be on stage 5 which still makes no difference
Cant wait for this guy to leave Eskom
Same old ish just a different week
' If we just made electricity free, then no one would need to pay for it & Eskom wouldn't be indebt...' -EFF Supporter 2023
Why is he still addressing the nation?🤷♂️
Wnen is he vacating the office? Haai man
When is the budget? 😉
Lo msunu!
It's all just lies and political rhetoric. It will only get worse during the week. You y have deceived the people you swore to protect.
The persistent rain made the coal wet ...mindall these people watch news and are aware of the tain bt nothing is done to cover the coal. The just let it get wet just like tht nje .
Another useless person....getting paid top dollars for catching on shit !!!!
So when is coal getting wet
The most useless CEO you’ll ever find.

Power Cuts =Economic Sabotage If this continues till the end of year I bet :Zimbabwe season 2 is Loading 💔💔💔 Job Cuts ,Inflation; Poor Economy Growth,Crime .....💔💔💔the rest will be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We should start a movement.. Moer a Eskom worker..
In the next few years people will move to the areas where there will be electricity. Not all towns will have electricity.
Good job!! Can we dismantle eskom already?
THEN WHERES THE UPDATE SAYING IT UHU WHERE?
Yeah, Wednesday next week.
This guy doesn't have a little bit of shame updating the nation about this nonsense
If u all wondering yes he did resign..... Unfortunately he just didn't have the power to leave

How long will your company be open if you had to treat your customers like we are treated by Eskom? Why do they have so much 'power' and why don't we have an alternative power supplier? Competition in this market is the only solution. EskomCrisis elonmusk

When is leaving kanti
QUESTION should be CEO from outside or inside SA?
As long as this stage 6 is not affecting him he won’t give a damn
These loadshedding as bad as they are, without them, we’ll go into total darkness and to restart the whole system might need 5-6 day
The minister of electricity will solve the problem.
I thought he resigned?
Tsek!
Disgraceful!!!!! WTF has happened to this country!!!! Once great ....... 30yrs later, a wasteland!!
Useless ANC
What will happen after Wednesday? Let us know please.
Destroying this country is Eskom..
…and what happens if this all continues after he leaves? Who’s to blame?
for comfortable luxurious tranquility, head over to HouseHurlingham guest house, follow and book a stay. thank me later.
They'll be no Eskom by the time this one leaves 🤞🏿.
Simtshele ukuth ngithe masendakhe🙄
This guy should have retired in December. Why is he still the CEO of a company he clearly has no belief in. Rather than maintain power stations they look to burn diesel continuously and put us under loadshedding indefinitely. Just so they can push IPP’s.
Why is quality of work and workmanship still an issue and excuse. Is it that hard to manage a service agreement that any bad quality is not penalised with clawbacks and these people removed from service. My God, it seems incompetent staff are employed & corruption flows unhinded!
Good day Please anyone to help me out with food voucher or anything I'm starving and the Government is no where to be found. I will really appreciate any kind of help please 😭😭😭😭My number is 0815472978 . Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Didn't he resign?.
Why is coal reserves still an issue. Don't you have a qualified person managing this! That is again an unacceptable line of speech to update with!
South Africans should thank the MYANC for this.
i guess ramaphosa he ain’t around
Miraculously by Wednesday generators will recover Oh us foolish south africans who has bewitched us that we believe every nonsense
We still have 6 weeks of his incompetence😡😡
Really trying to help the ANC to get the Turkish bribe money in!

Come Tuesday midnight we going to get an update from eskom telling us the coal is wet so stage 6 will continue
With stage 6 in place, we are in recession irrespective of what economists say.
Unless more generating units go down.... or are the ones that are currently online bullet and sabotage proof?
Kante didn’t y’all say he resigned? 🫠🥺
