The DA in SA petitions Eskom over alleged misleading load-shedding schedules

The DA in South Africa has petitioned the Eskom system operator over alleged misleading load-shedding schedules. The party questions Eskom’s adherence to the national code of practice for load-shedding, citing concerns of potential violations. They call for an investigation into whether the power utility is intentionally deviating from regulations and if such actions have an impact on consumers. The DA’s Samantha Graham-Maré says industry experts suggest some areas experienced 12 hours of load-shedding daily, consistent with stage eight, contrary to Eskom’s claim of stage six.
