Load-shedding chances dim

After a week of rolling blackouts‚ Eskom said on Monday it anticipated no load-shedding this week.

Some suburbs in Johannesburg‚ however‚ experienced cuts on Monday due to issues such as cable faults.

The Sunday Times reported that police and intelligence officers would be deployed to power stations to protect them from possible sabotage as the government moved to implement a rescue plan to help Eskom keep the lights on.

The multipronged emergency plan included preventing any possible acts by those linked to state capture following the failure of seven generating units last week.
