With the constant threat of load shedding, Education MEC Debbie Schafer has called on Eskom to do everything it can to prevent blackouts. She said the Department of Basic Education is engaging with Eskom in the hope of preventing power supply disruption this year.

Schafer said that the department was also concerned about protests which were usually more frequent in election years.
