Loadshedding To Persist & Intensify In SA


South Africa is set to plunge more into dark Winter as ESKOM introduced stage 5 this week highlighting that electricity is set to be switched off between 4pm to 5 am commencing today onwards. Media reports quoted Julius Malema the leader of South Africa's third biggest party Economic Freedom Fighters, saying the grid is likely going to collapse which may cause total darkness thereby likely to instill a revolution in the Southern African country. However, the new Minister of Electricity, Kgosientso Ramokgopa argued that South Africa will improve on its electricity generation and is likely to be on a better position in December. Ramokgopa said the country will import 4000 Megawatts from Mozambique and internally generate 2000 (MGW). Malema argued that the government was not maintaining it's existing grids and also pointed out on corruption as a major draw back. Inspite, of this electricity crisis the format ESKOM has implemented on loadshedding is at least better as it is now outside business hours but has been pushed into family hours meaning citizens have to look out for themselves.
