@Eskom_SA We are on our way to ending loadshedding for good. Government's Energy Action Plan is working. Well done Eskom. Thank you for the hard work of the management, engineers and for Dr Sputla Ramokgopa's dedication to ending the energy crises. 🔥🔥🔥🇿🇦

#KusileUpdate Monday, 16 October 2023: Eskom is pleased to announce that Kusile Power Station Unit 1 is now on load. The unit has been returned to service a month and a half ahead of the original schedule and brings an additional 800MW into the grid. This is after Kusile Unit 3 was returned to service on 30 September 2023 and has been consistently delivering 800 MW. Both units are adding 1 600MW back into the grid thereby improving the available generation capacity. This signifies that Eskom is on the right path to reducing and ultimately ending loadshedding.

Wrong. It's not Ramakgopa's hard work that caused loadshedding to lighten. There was a continuous maintenance plan at Eskom that started under Andre de Ruyter that now bears fruit. Also, renewable energy added 4000MW of energy to the grid. Read here: dailyinvestor.com/energy/27359/t…

Our country has turned a definite corner as far as #loadshedding is concerned, and levels and frequency of loadshedding is expected to improve during the fourth quarter. This is due to the return of #Kusile units; embedded generation by private households and businesses; and demand management which, will be adding much needed capacity to the grid.

The #ANCNEC highlighted the need for urgent extension and investment in our transmission grid through new and innovative methods of funding so we can speedily ensure renewable projects in the Northern and Eastern Cape can be brought online.

Alas not. There might be a flicker of light at the end of the very dark tunnel, but beware election talk. Burning diesel to keep the lights on doesn't mean Eskom has been fixed. Give us a year - or even just a month - without ANY loadshedding before making statements like this.

Minister of Electricity says the easing of loadshedding and the firing up of Unit 1 at #Kusile Power Station has nothing to do with elections being around the corner. Minister says there have been active plans for a while to deal with blackouts #eNCA youtu.be/xuGbLd_wL5o?si…

A whole minister of electricity nominated as "socialite of the year". While the economy is in tatters because of loadshedding.

Hospitals in Gauteng are experiencing severe #watershortages! Patients and #heathcare workers have resorted to bringing their own water as some sections in the hospitals are without running water. This poses as a risk for infection as basic hygiene is compromised. Last year, doctors at Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa hospital were asked to bring their own water to flush toilets and wash their hands - yet this year the water infrastructure has not been resolved. Petition starter, Palesa Ndlovu is calling on @Lesufi, @GautengHealth, and @JHBWater to address this as a matter of urgency. Sign her petition: chng.it/RxZDNCc6
