The City of Cape Town said in the event Eskom implements Stage 8 load shedding half the metro would be without power.
Over the weekend, Eskom announced the implementation of Stage 6 load shedding after eight generation units broke down. Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said during Stage 8 load shedding, half the metro would be left without power at any given time – at least 12 hours a day. Hill-Lewis added that the DOC would also secure critical societal systems, such as food and fuel supply chains."DOC will also be responsible for supporting the safety and security cluster – coordinating with SAPS, Crime Intelligence and role players in the justice, crime prevention and security cluster – [and] ensuring communications and awareness initiatives are up to date, accurate and informative," he said.
