Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has attributed the load-shedding reprieve to the successful return of over 7,000 megawatts of generating capacity.
Ramokgopa on Monday provided an update on the implementation of the energy action plan as the country spends a 40th day without load shedding.
This is the first time in years that there’s been consistent power supply in the country for 40 consecutive days.
Ramokgopa said this had nothing to do with the upcoming elections but rather the hard work of Eskom employees.
“There is no correlation between this performance and the date of the 29th of May. When the team were making these efforts, little did we know that there will be this big date for the ballot for all freedom-loving South Africans.”
