Eskom says there is a possibility that the rolling blackouts may worsen at short notice, depending on the state of the plant and the availability of labour.

there is a possibility that the rolling blackouts may worsen at short notice

Eskom blames the unprotected industrial action at various of its power stations for the move to Stage 4 load shedding as this has impacted planned maintenance and repairs. Eskom Spokesperson, Sikhonathi Mantshantsha says at some stations the full complement of workers has not reported for duty. “Adequate emergency reserves are crucial to assist with the generation deficit while dealing with generating units that may trip owing to unlawful action, and to compensate for the inability to return generating units timeously to service. Protracted strike actions may lead to further damage and prolonged delays to returning units to service, which would compound an already constrained power system.

We must familiarize talking about these rolling blackouts and that it's as a result of 9 wasted years, Guptas being Coal suplliers, 'engineers' and CEO's whilst Zuma was the President.

I talked to someone who use to work at Eskom and he said they use to sign disclaimer stating they wouldn't strike had that the problem with Eskom now is skills not qualifications and sub contractors. Mos of you in here sound petulant without any reasons as to why

So Eskom_SA can just threaten and hold the country hostage without penalty or consequence? Just standard CyrilRamaphosa MYANC practice then - no interest at all for serving and protecting the public. Too busy with cover ups and looting? Disgraceful incompetent

Tell us something that we don't know.

Eskom sucks what's da use of buying electricity while it can do as it pleases.

Cyril and his Jamnadas should swallow their pride and bring back Koko BrianMolefe

why Eskom needs competition ASAP holding an entire country hostage needs to come to an end

There's loadshedding right now in my area.

Useless management

Eskom is being deliberately sabotaged from within, Cadres with fly by night companies are wrecking havoc pretending to be fixing operations with that useless lawyer as PR front so IPP's to kick in, this time, entity will be sold for R52 this time, Pravin is on it...

Well………….what can we say really.

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.

In Port Elizabeth

Power generation should be classified an essential service. Withholding labour while the economy and country falls apart, is deliberate sabotage.

This cowtry is collapsing right in front of our eyes! We are all complacent in its demise.

Jonga the current CEO is fast tracking the sale of ESKOM. The man is doing a great job 👏.

These motherfuckers have guts to demand more money when their infrastructure is dying

They must hire us
