Stage 6 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 on Monday due to delays in returning 10 generating units to service, Eskom said in a statement.
Breakdowns are currently at 18 144MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 3 427MW. A generating unit each at Grootvlei, Hendrina and Kriel have been returned to service, but a unit each at Camden and two units at Arnot broke down over the last 24 hours. There has also been a delay in returning to serviece units at Arnot, Camden, Hendrina, Kendal, Matimba, Matla and Tutuka. Due to the breakdown of a unit each at Arnot, Majuba and Medupi power stations, Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 to 16:00 on Tuesday - and not Stage 3 as Eskom previously said.
Eskom called on South Africans to switch off their geysers from 17:00 to 21:00 to ease pressure on the power system.Eskom said on Thursday Stage 5 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 until 05:00 on Friday, with various stages of loadshedding to be implemented over the weekend. He criticises De Ruyter for having messianic and heroic tendencies, and using old-fashioned idealogical positions with respect to the ANC.
If a trusted CEO mentions to a shareholder minister that there are two ministers involved in corruption - why were the allegations not tested? "To write a book like this while you were supposed to be running a big organisation, so what was his focus?"Mente says appointing De Ruyter was an"horrible mistake". Gordhan says the accounting authority of Eskom is the board. "It could have been a very good choice, it could have been a very bad choice - you don't know how human beings behave". "Any attempt by smearing people on the outside... would come across very poorly".
