It's not necessarily bad news (there are a few press conferences where the stages didn't worsen), but we will see.

There have been ones where it's actually been good news, where the stages dropped.

I think it is just going to be a status update. They are holding the presser to provide info on where they are since the stage 6 days and why their stage 2 forecast failed to materialize. I think it'll be, you're stuck with S4 with a hope that we'll be back to S2 over the weekend.

Stage 4 expected for most of the week, could move to Stage 3 on Friday

Stage 4 load shedding will continue from 05:00 to midnight every day until Thursday. Stage 2 will be implemented from midnight to 05:00 every day.

On Friday, load shedding may be downgraded to Stage 3, which may be eased to Stage 2 over the weekend.

A further 12 units will return to service by Thursday this week, De Ruyter said

And 10 days or so for load shedding to possibly end. So basically 6 weeks of load shedding.

Wonder who will they employ? Hopefully not a cadre.

They mentioned someone else taking the roll for now, but the guy leaving was working for eskom 27 years.

They don't employ cadres in operational roles, Libs. You should look at the guy's CV, no cadre has the experience to fill a role like that. Dude was with Eskom for 27 years.
