Empty Promises
During SONA 2024, President Cyril Ramaphosa claimed that the “worst is behind us” with regards to loadshedding, but just two days after SONA, Eskom announced they will be implementing stage 6 loadshedding until further notice. Moreover, in 2023, South Africa experienced 335 days of rolling blackouts (around 90% of the year), a significant increase from the 200 experienced in 2022.
