He says they cannot really say what the problem is at this stage - apart from ageing infrastructure and power lines that have been shut down due to the cyclone in Mozambique.
"Right now we have - on a voluntary basis - 12 or 14 engineers that are visiting the power stations themselves to give us another independent view of what is going wrong and how quickly we can repair what is going wrong at the power stations. So that demonstrates to you our eagerness and determination to get to what the problems are," Gordhan said.
@Eskom_SA is currently implementing Stage 2 rotational loadshedding. Stage 4 will be implemented from 09h00 and will continue until 23h00 today. This is due to a shortage of capacity. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. @CityPowerJhb @City_Ekurhuleni @CityTshwane
