ESKOM: STAGE 16 LOADING

Report | The resumption of load shedding after the South African elections is a possibility.

Here are some points to consider

*Election manipulation*: Some suspect that Eskom may be manipulating the power supply ecosystem to keep the lights on at all costs until May 29.-

*Improved electricity situation*: Experts say there’s more to the improved electricity situation than just burning through diesel.- *Eskom’s efforts*: Eskom forecasts ‘light’ load shedding in winter after a 30-day break from rolling blackouts.-

*Reduced electricity demand*: There has also been a documented decrease in demand for Eskom’s electricity supply because many houses and businesses have turned to solar, and also because the economy is in a slump in general.- *Election warnings*: EFF leader Julius Malema and DA leader John Steenhuisen have warned South Africans that load shedding will return after the elections.
