Positive outlook for load-shedding this Christmas

South Africans should not expect load-shedding during the festive season, based on feedback from Eskom CEO André de Ruyter.

Speaking during the release of Eskom’s interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2021, De Ruyter provided a positive outlook for load-shedding prospects during the period.

“Typically, demand for electricity is much lower over the festive season. After the 16th [of December], when the builders’ holiday starts, demand drops down as well,” he stated.

Christ, I would imagine that's a given!! The economy pretty much grinds to a halt from the 20th Dec to the 3rd of Jan.

For all their gross incompetence, that is pretty impressive!

"Good news about load-shedding this festive season"​

So we're believing them this time? Again? Regardless of their track record? Ok, just checking.

This will only be until someone at Eskom gets a bad Xmas present!
