Load shedding for at least two more years, or worse: ESKOM by Radio Islam International published on 2023-01-24T10:51:51Z South Africans should accept that they will experience Stage 2 and 3 load shedding for at least the next two years, if not at higher stages. Mpho Makwana, the Head of the Eskom Board, and CEO Andre de Ruyter spoke to the media on Sunday to provide an update on the power company's difficulties. Makwana contends that to give the utility the time it needs to do essential maintenance on the overburdened system and to give South Africans uniformity in outages, permanent load-shedding is required. In an interview with Radio Islam International on Monday, January 23, 2023, energy expert Chris Yelland urged people to try to avoid expecting the load shedding to ease, as it all hinges on the sporadic breakdown of generation units and how quickly they can be restored.
