ENERGY: RAMOKGOPA HINTS SOMETHING MORE SINISTER

- Molefe Seeletsa

Is it sabotage which has forced Eskom to implement load shedding in recent weeks after a long run of uninterrupted power supply? Electricity and Energy Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa ducked the issue in his briefing over the weekend, although he did make some cryptic comments that all is not well at the power utility and that the problems are not technical in nature.

Eskom suspended load shedding yesterday at 10am after 44 hours of blackouts across the country.

Speaking in Pretoria on Saturday following Eskom's decision to implement stage 3 load shedding, Ramokgopa said the problems at Eskom's power stations were "non-technical related issues".

"Clearly, we have become complacent. So it can't be normal, it can't be that we are reversing the gains that we have accumulated over time.
