Power cuts won't stop by the end of December: electricity minister: Minister of electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has disputed ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula's sentiments that load-shedding will end before the end of this year.
Ramokgopa on Monday assessed the progress on measures taken to bring back four units at Kusile power station by December.
The media was offered an opportunity to get a glimpse of the work done since the collapse of the duct at the power station.“Yes, I am on record — it doesn't look possible for us to end load-shedding by the end of the year,” he said.Mbalula said recently the government was on top of the electricity crisis and power cuts would stop by the end of the year.
“What I know from where I'm seated, from the work that's been done by government and ministers and so on, load-shedding, before the end of the year, should have been something of the past.Ramokgopa said he couldn't rule out the possibility of higher stages of load-shedding in winter but the ministry, working with Eskom, is striving to remain within tolerable levels of load-shedding.
