Eskom Announces Stage 4 Load Shedding
Eskom Announces Stage 4 Load Shedding. The dark days are here once again. Just like crime, corruption, unemployment and high cost of living, it looks like load shedding is one of the problems that we have to live with in this country. There was a time when power cuts were synonymous with the Winter season, but nowadays any day is tea time.
Eskom has just announced that we have to brace ourselves for Stage 4 load shedding. The load shedding is due to further failures of generation units at Duvha, Camden, Kendal and Kusile. This will be implemented from 09:00 on Wednesday morning until 05:00 on Friday in order to manage the emergency reserves. Thereafter load shedding will then be lowered to Stage 2 until 05:00 on Monday.
Because of the inconvenience this will cause, Eskom has apologized and has promised to continuously review the situation and act appropriately as circumstances change.
As expected the nation is not impressed after the announcement was made. Most people took to social media to air their grievances, and hopes the Government does better.
