There’s nothing quite like an EskomSePush notification to remind you that all is not well with this country. Sadly, they’re popping up again.
Despite the fact that Eskom has hired significantly more people over the years, productivity is at an all-time low.
A lot of Eskom’s problems seem to be linked to the Medupi power station, and the situation is worse than you may think.
Eskom’s electricity generating capacity has reached record lows over the last week, with unplanned power outages reaching their highest level for the year on 3 May, and yesterday coming precariously close to that figure again. Considering winter’s only just begun, this is going to cause some major worries across the country.
