@Eskom_SA Except in Sandton, where the power has been out for 33 hours.

Eskom’s Group Chief Executive, Dan Marokane: “Eskom, and in turn South Africa, now has a stable electricity platform to operate and grow from. This enables us to integrate renewable energy sources as per the 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for the maintenance of energy security in the future. Eskom is consciously assessing the new capacity build rate across all required technologies as this, along with other socio-economic conditions, will be vital in determining the transition of the coal-fired power stations." #EskomWinterOutlook2026

@Kgosientsho_R PS: this is a great admission of liability if ever I have read one.

I therefore wish to assure you that we remain committed to ensuring that load-shedding is permanently behind us through our continued and tireless efforts to deliver reliable, affordable, and accessible electricity for all.

Fellow South Africans, I am pleased to announce that load-shedding, which began on Friday, 31 January 2025, has been officially suspended from this morning 06:00, 02 February 2025! This has been achieved through the relentless efforts of our dedicated teams at Eskom.

@Kgosientsho_R No apologies needed, you will be sued.

I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the disruptions and challenges that load-shedding has imposed on your daily lives. The frustration and difficulties you have faced can never be normalised.
