Eskom will work to restore network stability by end of March – Ramaphosa  

Troubled South African power utility Eskom will work to restore network stability by the end of March, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Wednesday, after the country’s most severe power blackouts in more than a decade this week.

Key #Eskom staff members and management will not have any leave again this year, Ramaphosa announces that in the effort to restore stability to the system “all leave is cancelled”. Last year when loadshedding took place Gordhan also cancelled leave.
