Eskom was trending on Twitter after announcing that load shedding is going back to stage 6. This is how Twitter reacted:

@bahumi_marumo

Is it again breaking news? People must stop being alarmists, we were all expecting it, they are playing with fire. @Khalangaandrew

All of you who were insulting and condemning @EFFSouthAfrica during the national shutdown, how is load shedding treating you now? We are in stage 6 now and the worse is yet to come under Cyril Ramaphosa's ANC-led Government.

@Bro_mandla

Guys let's rise up and fill up the streets, this is not on! It has to stop and it's in our hands!

@AldrinSampear

Oh well. This was short-lived.

Just yesterday there was “a slight improvement” and today we lost 7 units and we head back to stage 6. You blink and there is a new stage.

@GueveraLeninist

It is happening because citizens allow it. They can force the government out with its super corrupt agendas. The people must decide and the rest will follow. President Cyril Ramaphosa must know this, Eskom will never be sold to his greedy stooges.

@Neristo3

By the look of things the minister of electricity is just there for the bag. Nothing more, Eskom is the one controlling everything. Poor thing, stage 6 minister of trouble.

@Umalumewabantu

So there are people who still believe that the ANC will end #Loadshedding? Think about all the SOEs that ANC government presides upon. How many did it destroy? How many did it save? And you still believe it will fix Eskom?

@MOSALAIKE

The solution to Eskom is to vote ANC out of power next year. They are deliberately switching off the power to make us think that there is a problem, whereas the problem is ANC, Ramaphosa and the minister of electricity, that is all.

@SATruth5

South Africans are the most tolerating citizens. From Stage 1 to stage 6, what kind of economic sabotage is this? When a business week is about to begin we're subjected to this! Citizens should not tolerate this type of sabotage of the economy.

@Bound2Liberty

The level of madness that we are again heading into stage 6 load shedding! Clearly the ANC does not have a handle on this, they need to resign with immediate effect and call for general elections.
