'Load Shedding halted due to maintenance'

Eskom Chairperson Mteto Nyati attributes the load shedding reprieve to the utility's year-long commitment to planned maintenance, rejecting DA claims of pre-election political pressure.

30 May = Stage 8 Load shedding

[@user-po3me4gr6g]

Save this then we check. It would be good to do it every month end from now on

[@Alias-gy3tz]

Loadshedding will return 3x over after the elections. 👀

[@craig81211]

LIES!!! LIES!!! LIES!!!

[@user-po3me4gr6g]

Put your facts here as he said some people can say whatever they without any facts

[@domaths7]

So why did Eskom use the OCGT to generate 483.3 GWh in March - more than Feb, more than Jan and more than Dec '23? And this during the month when they significantly reduced planned maintenance.

This man should be fired if found to be lying but otherwise, good job Eskom

This is a message the minister of electricity will tell us on 30 May " Due to the increased demand, we have implemented stage 4 loadshedding. It is winter now and 4 units have been taken down for maintenance."

Truth truth please ....

[@gainingvisionsa]

Nonsense

[@cathymcdowell5294]

Loadshedding Is a conn.there is no need for this crap

[@janetgroenewald222]

Steenhuizen all elites dont have loadshedding???

[@firstcomment749]

The proof will be in the pudding after June. Eskom has no choice but to forgive consumers + the economy for not trusting its word. We've been fed excuses for too long.
Consumers + taxpayers are also concerned abt the economy suffering from LS - because SA is up to its nose in international debt due to LS.

[@christiaancoetzee2964]

Load shedding has been halted temporarily to allow maintenance of the load shedding switch. Its been used so much it is worn and requires replacing. Load shedding will commence as soon as the switch has been replaced or just after the elections (which ever comes first). Any inconvenience caused by the suspension of loadshedding is sincerely regretted.

😅😅😅😅😅

[@Jcat24]

30th May 24 00:01 due to generation losses of several units stage 6 load shedding will be implemented with immediate effect.

The Emperor without his clothes. We are all laughing, we have no other choice but to laugh at ANC and Eskom. It is like the wet coal. Mteto you have blood on your hands.

[@amillifomilly]

Mteto's laughing turned me off - he better stick to his word in terms of the winter supply.

He was instructed to lie

[@janetgroenewald222]

After election goes back to normal loadshedding again

That fool called Steenhuisen want to confuse the people 😢, he should focus on his failed campaigns 😂.

[@mondlintshangase1671]

How's failed campaign? It's okay to disagree with person, but don't say things because of anger. We will only know if campaign failed or not after election.

[@SS-xt4kh]

You should forgive steinhuisen. Eskom complexity is beyond his intellectual comprehension...

[@kenchucky2997]

so if loadshedding comes back after the elections, what will you say then?

[@shakam3]

I don't think chat gpt will further assist them to reply. People who belive anything from any ANC member are prime examples of imbeciles

[@SS-xt4kh]

Nobody said loadshedding will not return.
I would rather listen to someone with a solid track record of turning businesses around than some random matriculant who manufacturers 'facts' from his thumb.

[@kenchucky2997]

@@SS-xt4kh well you said Steinhuisen doesnt understand the eskom complexity, but if loadshedding comes back after elections then it is clearly a manufactured situation for votes.
that would make him right.
so as you said it would most likely come back.

Well done John Steenhuizen, thank you for speaking out on this matter, the mind boggles about this!!
