He said intensive maintenance is being done at power stations in an effort to relieve the ongoing power cuts on a long-term basis.
Ramokgopa said South Africans should expect intensified power cuts to persist in the short-term.
“We are going to stick to planned and philosophy maintenance. We do accept that in the short-term, it’s going to result in the possibility of intensified load shedding,” said Ramokgopa. Maeanwhile, embattled power utility Eskom has announced that load shedding will be reduced to stage 5 from 5am on Friday morning until 4pm.“Due to improved generation capacity and emergency reserves, stage 5 load shedding will be implemented. We plead with members of the public to reduce the demand during the evening peak between 17:00 to 21:00,” Mokwena said.
