Eskom working on shielding hospitals from load-shedding, says Ramaphosa: President Cyril Ramaphosa has told the National Council of Provinces that the government is working on exempting critical infrastructure especially hospitals from rolling blackouts.
He said the department of health has been working with Eskom and municipalities to exclude health facilities from load-shedding where possible and the two were working on exempting more hospitals.In the past two weeks Ramokgopa has been visiting power stations speaking to managers, workers, trade unions and engineers to find solutions to load-shedding.“Through this we should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope this is an initiative that will lead to less load-shedding.
Ramaphosa said discussions were continuing between Eskom and water supply entities as well as local governments.“There are some local governments who have already set up generators to ensure that when there is load-shedding it does not interfere negatively on their water works or pump stations.
