City of Johannesburg mayor Mpho Phalatse has asked Eskom to exempt the city from load shedding for three days. In an urgent plea on Monday morning, Phalatse said the request was to allow City Power to “meet the nearing insurmountable challenge of escalating faults and outages”, owed to torrential downpours throughout Gauteng over the past week.“While progress is being made with limited resources in addressing the thousands of outages that have occurred since last week’s inclement weather and flooding, continuous rainfall means more faults are being logged every hour,” Phalatse said.
