Ramokgopa briefed the media on the power situation on Tuesday morning. 

 

"Of course, there is going to be some degree of dynamism in how we deal with this. So if the situation were to deteriorate further, we will find a way of ensuring that on planned maintenance, we are able to slow it down. 

 

"But you will see when we share that we have confidence that in a few days, those units are going to come back."
