Don’t believe everything you read without fact-checking it first. Eskom have been forced to respond to some unsavoury rumours on Wednesday.

People Against Load Shedding
(PALS) are gunning for Gordhan.

Eskom’s prayers may have been answered, for the short-term at least. That Brics membership has come in handy, and here’s where the money will go.

Eskom are still sweeping things under the rug: Energy expert Ted Blom has explained how load shedding is making electricity bills more expensive.

On Tuesday evening, as was expected, Eskom released a statement notifying South Africans of further power cuts.

Oh good. We were worried…

Ted Blom has highlighted that Eskom claimed to have taken 4 900MW off the grid on Monday – which would equal a Stage 5 round of load shedding.

What about Medupi’s sibling power plant, Kusile? Both are in the same state of ruin.

Even during the Eskom briefing, the event was subject to load shedding. The loss of power just about summed up the situation, if not Pravin Gordhan’s outlook.

The Minister of Public Enterprises delivered an update on the energy crisis that’s grappled South Africans in darkness.

If it’s not one thing, it’s the other. But for locals in Johannesburg, it’s both. Load shedding is now affecting the city’s water supply.

“A couple of weeks” may just be a reach too high for the ANC leadership.

The most South African of all South African problems isn’t going away any time soon. It seems Eskom will have load shedding in place for months to come.

Eskom are pulling the plug once again on Tuesday, as Mzansi comes to terms with “round the clock” load shedding. Here’s what you need to know…

The cost of “unserved energy” is having a devastating impact on the economy. Here’s what every day of load shedding has cost SA so far this year.

“We have to consider nuclear” – Minister Radebe

Ramaphosa pointed at Cyclone Idai as the cause of the implementation of stage 4 load shedding

If Eskom could convert incompetency into energy, there’d be no such thing as load shedding. Alas, here we are, and Pravin Gordhan is fuming.

Eskom has warned of Stage 4 load shedding persisting until Wednesday.

Eskom has warned that Stage 4 load shedding is likely to remain relentless in the week ahead.

Did you know there’s a difference between the two? We’ve put together some advice on who you should blame – and when – if the power goes out.

Cyclone Idai is not solely to blame for current energy blackout.

It’s been a particularly dismal weekend for Eskom and, as a result, for South Africans in general, too.

Load shedding worst case scenario involves a mythical stage 8 or a total collapse of the grid. Here’s what that might look like.

It’s going to be an interesting weekend, folks. We’re back to the dreaded Stage 4 load shedding. Thanks Eskom.
