The City of Cape Town has denied accusations by Eskom that it is one of the municipalities across the country that don’t comply with Eskom's load-shedding instructions.
In a statement, the City said
protection of its customers has no impact on the national Eskom grid. The City offers protection to its customers by implementing
a stage lower than that of Eskom
Eskom said some municipalities
have not been implementing rolling blackouts and this has contributed to the
power utility moving to Stage 4 power cuts. Eskom chief executive Andre de Ruyter said letters had been
drafted to all the affected municipalities to correct the situation with all
future blackout scenarios which may occur.
Eskom CEO André de Ruyter has
urged South Africans to play their part in reducing the risk of load shedding
and the severity of it when it cannot be avoided
Meanwhile Eskom announced today
that Stage 2 would be implemented from midday and that power cuts would end
tomorrow at 5am.
