Minister of public enterprises Pravin Gordhan on Thursday ordered Eskom’s management and board to get the country out of stage 6 load-shedding.
Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan says the frequency of the breakdown of Eskom's infrastructure can be attributed to systems malfunctioning and possibly sabotage.
Eskom has pushed load shedding up to stage six from midday on Wednesday.
Stage 6 loadshedding will be implemented until further notice because of the high number of breakdowns since midnight, and to preserve the remaining emergency generation reserves.
On Wednesday, the ailing power utility announced more plans to thrust the country into the darkness by implementing Stage 6 load shedding indefinitely.
