Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba says the country will not experience power cuts similar to those witnessed three years ago due to electricity generation shortages. "Eskom has instituted a quarterly power system alert briefing to the public and has indicated that whilst the system is tight, it envisages being able to mitigate any power supply shortages this winter," said Gigaba.

Um, why is he only saying this when Winter is nearly over?

Because he was hoping & praying it would not be the case. It's now safe to speak

We had no cuts this winter.

They got their increases so the need for further blackmail has dissipated. For now.

I must say this winter has been fairly good actually, barely any power cuts and the mostly it was damage or repairs that were the cause of our outages.

I will give them credit for sorting out damage very quickly as well. Apart from the price i cannot complain.
