South Africa to experience ‘largest SUPERMOON of the year’ tonight! Details here…
Tonight is no ordinary night on the calendar: A new Supermoon – also referred to as a Super Buck Moon this time – will be visible in the skies above South Africa on Wednesday. We’ve done our best to answer five commonly-occurring questions about the major celestial event.
It’s estimated that the orb will reach peak illumination when full at 20:37 SAST, and will remain visible throughout the night.
There’s good news for star-gazers who are looking for something more than a one-night thing. The Supermoon should be at its best and brightest for three nights in total. And no, you won’t need binoculars or a telescope to enjoy this spectacle. It’s visible to the naked eye.
Family meeting: What to expect from Ramaphosa’s ‘energy emergency’ address
For the first time since March 2022, President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to organise a ‘family meeting’ – but this will have nothing to do with COVID, as the grave concerns of South Africans switch to another pressing matter.
From what we’ve gathered so far, we know Cyril Ramaphosa wants to address the nation via a televised speech – similar to the ones he did during lockdown. The president will then be expected to declare a ‘national energy emergency’.
This will allow sweeping interventions to take place, in terms of how Eskom operates and what the government can do to ease the crippling burden of load shedding. Ramaphosa is likely to SLASH legal red tape, in order to bring badly-needed reforms online.
