3 days of load shedding during the coming winter period

SAfm — Eskom is now forecasting that there will be three days of load shedding during the coming winter period, from a previous forecast of thirty days before the lockdown. Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter says Eskom's debt still remains high at 450-billion-rand and the company is still not able to generate enough revenue to meet its debt servicing costs. De Ruyter says loadshedding has had major cost implications for the company and the country's economy, while the lockdown has also presented a number of other limitations for the business. De Ruyter was addressing media during a briefing at Eskom's Megawatt head office in Johannesburg.
