Eskom has been struggling to meet the electricity demand in South Africa for years, leading to frequent load-shedding. As a journalist, it is important to report accurately and impartially on such issues, while keeping in mind the impact it has on people’s daily lives. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
