Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is set to make an announcement about the transfer of Eskom’s about 400 billion rand debt when he delivers his budget speech on Wednesday. Finances have weighed on the company that’s had difficulty maintaining funds to buy diesel.
Eskom, which supplies most of South Africa’s power from coal-fired plants, has been implementing rolling blackouts since 2008 because it can’t meet demand. Less than half of the utility’s generation capacity is available, two newly built coal-fired plants have also proven unreliable and other defective generating units have had to be taken off-line for repairs. The government has declared a state of disaster due to its energy crisis.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.

Ramadollar means business now
I see they are doing great without DeRuiter
We really deserve these crooks of the ANC if we vote for them again in 2024. They have to give someone else a chance to govern. The ANC has failed dismally!!
They will never announce it cause they promised us that we will never get that far .. so it happens that they are now pushed to deliver stage 7 next it's 8
Cut or there was not enough generation due to incompetent leadership?
Running my generator 10 hours a day seems pretty close to total shutdown?
7000 MW technically equates to stage 8 friends
Thanks Andre. Some of us can see through the noise. Cowardly acts to hide incompetence
You mean Stage 8
Y'all should just stop providing electricity better without it
Wow.
Vote them OUT IN 2024
Why is this article not famously marked as 'for subscribers' only.
This is ridiculous
And they will still vote for these corrupt officials and we still be suffering
Africans are useless. Can't be argued otherwise. They are all totally incompetent and have criminality in their genes.
My goeie fok
Thinking of closing my business is no longer generating,ngihlulekile😭😭😭kunzima
Ag man plse privatise eskom we can all see the racist government vainly run it I to the grond
But 20 March is far
And this South Africa is why we need new government. These pensioners at MYANC have no idea how to fix this. Must we sit in total darkness before we get angry enough to do something about this mediocrity?
And there will be people who still vote for ANC
Min of electricity handing out candles 🤬🤬🤬
Does Eskom have no solutions or what😂?
When casting your vote remember these dark days. We can’t let this continue.. where is the recovery plan to get us back to normality.
Ukuphi uminister of electricity?🤔
If anyone is interested in installing back up power which can be financed over a 3 year period with a 50% tax rebate (50% paid back to you from SARS when claimed), feel free to contact me.
dominatrixsa Do you know oodez? You should watch some of his videos on YouTube, very informative :
2 double load sheds and a single = 11.5 hrs OFF per day during the day … not counting the OFFs during the night. Stage 12 to 16 for some unlucky buggers when Eishkom uses their block as an emergency OFF switch!!!£££¥¥¥§§§|
HOly shit ,nightmare has come ,and there is still no solution for too end ,this in 3 years time , this is what happened, when you putted Eskom in Anc hand, in last 27 years
Please let us not be fooled by the anc. We should take them to Hake for committing genocide. Electricity and water are basic necessity. Fok anc.
So ANDRE wasn't incompetent after all It was just years and years of 'black excellence '
VoetsekANC
Does the ministers esperance load shedding? No, so why will they care? 2024 ANC voters will vote again for these gangsters.
They are the biggest fraud in world history, then I believe eskom was awarded as news maker of 2023. What a joke! 🤡
We have an opportunity next year during election to get other people to govern, otherwise we deserve all this !!!!!
basically we are given 1hr a day to recharge appliances, after that you’re on your own
Us in Block 9 already experiencing stage 8 already , 😡
Tell of an open air prison without telling me you are in open air prison
These guys talk such sh*t
What do you mean 😩
Eskom had been over shedding relative to the declared stage for a LONG time. Eskom_SA How can you insult the country like this? You have actually called all of us a bunch of dumb f****s without saying the words 😡😡😡
No wonder, 12 hours of darkness per day is in session. 🤔 allafrica
Ramaphosa and Mandela were at the forefront during CODESA agreements. Privatization of SOEs
jsteenhuisen Public is being lied to. Citizens cannot accept this any longer! Enough is enough!
Blow up eskom so that they can rebuild a newer generation
O timeng guys
we sat for 12 hours with no power last night – 6 to gone 6 again
We on stage 10 stop lying le ntoto
tell the SA piblic why this is happening.Tell them that the world economy forum won't allow an increased electricity supply.That is why News24 is publishing pollution propaganda around Eskom.Tell SAns that the government must reach their climate goal by reducing pollution
Keep voting ANC, guys!
Sikonathi Matshantsha must resign for the sake of his already tattered dignity because of Eskom
It’s hardly news that Eskom and the ANC are being dishonest and backhanded. They have no decency, honesty or morals and treat us all with utter contempt. This news should surprise nobody but infuriate us all. We deserve better.
Aiy and see what you done
Wtf
we’re in stage 7 without knowing😭…
