Eskom Chair Mpho Makwena says the country will be subjected to “some level of” permanent load shedding at stage 2 or stage 3 for at least two years. #eNCA #Loadshedding #Blackouts

In 1976, Barbara Walters became the first woman to co-anchor a national news broadcast and first to sign a $1 million a year deal.

But her co-anchor Harry Reasoner was furious he had to share the show and subjected her to sexism on-air and off.

Here’s how he welcomed her…

@Uber_Support @KashmiriBeesham I was not assisted @KashmiriBeesham. @UberEats simply sent me a survey to complete asking how their service was 😒. @Uber_Support can I use the same link above to get in touch?

[Rianté Padayachee @RianteP]

@UberEats It’s been a struggle logging a query on your platform in South Africa. I used a voucher this evening, however the total amount of my order (excluding the voucher value) was deducted from my bank account. I would appreciate assistance with this.

Rolling blackouts entered the South African lexicon in 2008 and have stuck around like a bad rash since then. 2022 has been the worst year for power cuts. There are still 24 days left for the year. We’ve spent 134 days in darkness - an astonishing 3,212 hours without power. #eNCA

[eNCA @eNCA]

Energy analyst Lungile Mashele says #Stage8 power cuts are coming. This stage means South Africans wouldn't have power for around 12 or 14 hours daily. #DStv403 #eNCA #Eskom

[eNCA @eNCA]

Eskom says it's not ruling out the possibility of implementing Stage 8 power cuts. Koeberg's Unit 1 is going offline tonight, and the loss of other generating units have forced the power utility to ramp up blackouts to #Stage6 until Friday morning. #DStv403 #eNCA

[Michael Sun MPL @MichaelSun168]

#Stage6LoadShedding makes my blood boil!

@Eskom_SA & @GovernmentZA is killing South Africa’s future.

@CityofJoburgZA is working on an Independent Power Producer program to shield #Joburgers from this socioeconomic poison 🌇

Until then we need everyone to play their part☝🏽

Loadshedding 2022 Wrapped! 😅

[Nic Andersen @NicAndersen]

About a month ago, I did a story for @Newzroom405 looking at what severity of loadshedding we can expect over December and the festive period. Former Eskom Exec Vally Padayachee told me that the data from Eskom show that we should expect Stage 6 or 7 this month. We are now here.
