ESKOM LIVE | Load shedding ramped up to Stage 5 after multiple breakdowns

Following the failure of five generating units today, Stage 5 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 today until 05:00 tomorrow whereafter Stage 4 loadshedding will resume until further notice.Following the failure of five generating units on Monday, Stage 5 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 until 05:00 on Tuesday, Eskom said.

Thereafter, Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 until 16:00 followed by Stage 3 load shedding until 05:00 on Monday morning.03 March 11:34Rudi Dicks, head of project management in the office of the Presidency: A one stop shop for energy is being formed at the DTIC . That is being replicated for energy applications. The details around this are being finalised.Cassim says that the preference is to not increase load shedding. We should not accept stage 6 load shedding.

Creecy said that on a case-by-case basis, legal advice will be taken on whether it is viable to shorten timeframes for applications for environmental authorisation.Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Minister Barbara Creecy says the regulations allow for streamlining of environmental regulations – for the duration of the state of disaster.

Eskom has long estimated that it kills a couple of hundred people a year through bad air. Independent research suggests the number is in the thousands – and that the company is on track to kill closer to 80 000 people within years, not counting the impact of climate change. On Monday, Dlamini-Zuma gazetted new disaster regulations aimed at boosting electricity generation, and improving Eskom's plant performance - but also exempt load shedding on essential infrastructure. This includes hospitals, water treatment plants, rail and ports, food production and storage facilities, as well as critical electronic communication and broadcasting infrastructure.

Stage 5 load shedding will then be implemented from 16:00 until 05:00 on Thursday, with Stage 4 load shedding from 05:00 until 16:00. This comes after a generating unit each at Camden, Kriel, Matla and Matimba were returned to service in the last 24 hours - but breakdowns at a unit each at Duvha, Lethabo, Majuba and Tutuka caused units to be taken offline. There have been delays in returning units to service at Arnot, Camden, Duvha and Kendal.

With all this modern technology we still can’t catch the people stealing from coal to power stations. Obviously they don’t want to and if they get caught they get promoted

Useless

Yazi i don't care anymore

Feels like break ups

Hello Eskom 👋 se push

Tsek !

Nee fok man.

Pisssss off

Seems like the minister is still busy with his sabotage of the system to pocket more money!? ⁉️ 💔 💔 💔

The country has passed the black hole's event horizon. The entry point just before the event horizon was the July 2021 tea party. Past the event horizon, every thing is shredded to pieces and fooked forever! Nothing can escape this point. Thank you, black hole ANC!!!

Eskom thugs are at it again. More maintenance calls and urgent purchase orders. ANC is just terrorising us 🤞🏾

Wow the new ceo & board waking up to the facts of brokenness in eskom already?

Voetsek

A viable solution resides here:

Seems like these 'generating units' dont like mondays. Every monday, they break, and by friday, they are happy its weekend and start working again so that we can get at least promises of stage 2..vokken skelms..

Same liam lying excuses every single day this is getting ridiculous everytime the same old power stations they just keep on lying and whe are surpose to believe it kak man WHE ARE NOT STUPID SO ESKOM KEEP YOUR KAK EXCUSES TO YOURSELF WHE ARE GATVOL GATVOL

You mean after more sabotage and domestic terrorism

eskomsalaryshedding , the highest paid sector in the country and they cannot fix a thing or keep it running let try this: stage 2,3,4 30% salary cut. stage 5,6,7 40% salary cut. Stage 8 upwards 55% salary cut see how quickly they fix this problem! Enough is enough stop the BS

But andre is gone?! Why still loadshedding?

It’s clearly impossible to fix things so they dont break again soon 😏

The Eskom Files: No surprises for News24 readers as criminal networks further unfold

Like night follows day

Breakdowns that were just repaired

More like multiple sabotage.

I love how all the stereotypes about Africa has been confirmed. Countries are booking vacations to space while Africa is trying to figure out electricity. A continent of criminals.

They said Andre de Ruyter was the problem. Now he's gone so why still stage 5?

Eskom here putting no effort in giving the public a good reason anymore. They know that we know what they know. Breakdown my ass....well not literally.

Kak

Useless, corrupt, incompetent. They cannot do their ONLY job.

Nazoke kwasuka lokho

This is orchestrated. I don't believe for one minute that 5 units crash conveniently at one time. How thick do these people actually think we are? 🤔

And then stage 6 and more we are so used to this

Multiple cases of sabotage you mean...

Because of the sars findings we being punished

The Candle, New South Africas national symbol. All the stereotypes about these people turned out to be right. Lazy fat thieves.

Why didn’t we pitch one big tent over this fucking country? It’s become a trailer park / camping site. Disgusting what the ANC and Eskom are doing to us. Wait until most of us have left.

Nothing new

Once the chosen one gets into trouble they switch off the lights yeses!

In case you havnt noticed, Eskom is fckt to the point that it cannot handle stage 4 for one single day. How many billions did these ANC criminal scumbags really steal.

so here is the question... all these units getting serviced....are they breaking down as well?

New Dawn

One of these days, that candle is also going to see its end!

Is stage5/6 the new normal? Absolutely disruptive

but yet that on off load shedding switch/ timer doesn't experience so many breakdowns. In fact, it is set 5 min earlier every time

They should replace 'break downs' with 'take downs'. We all by now know its crimininals taking down and running the grid.

Great. Does that mean I can miss the reshuffle.

Sunday... Cadres need to eat.

Phalaphala SARS affidavit is responsible for this. Someone must be gone by the time eskom switches back on the lights

So glad Andre’s gone; I want to see who they going to blame.

Cyril is trying to distract from his SARS kak, probably tripped the breakers himself.

same old war cry….just a different day….. Load shedding every day of 2023…..

You people are the biggest liars I cant wait for the day that ANC is voted out and all of you are thrown into jail!!!

Embarrassing

Nothing new. The cartels are coining it and our police minister and intelligence agencies are sleeping.

You can't put it on stage 100 it's fine, as long as SARS declared that dollars wr not...... 😅🤟

Nice job Eskom, ANC and CO... A countdown for a revolution has begun 🤞🏾

EskomSePush Eskom_SA you guys are DESTROYING people’s lives!!!!!! Like literally!!!!!

Renewables push...we fucking see you evil traitors!!!

Every week they find away to get stage 5 or 6 fake breakdowns

Yohhh
