Eskom to continue with rotational blackouts on Thursday

Power utility Eskom said it would continue with rolling blackouts today, suppressing up to 2 000 MW of demand on a staggered basis until 11 pm to avoid collapsing the strained national grid.

In the latest update on the electricity crisis which saw it implement unprecedented Stage 6 load-shedding on Monday, Eskom said good progress had been made with additional units being returned to service.

But Stage 2 load-shedding would still be implemented from 9 am as breakdowns were still above 9 500 MW, it added.

ANC in 'secret' talks with other parties to take control of Tshwane

The African National Congress says while it is continuing to negotiate with other parties over the control of the City of Tshwane, it will only reveal details of the talks once a deal has been reached.

National executive committee member and spokesperson Dakota Legoete was speaking at the party's post-NEC meeting.

The party recently won the mayoral race in the City of Johannesburg after the metro's former leader, Herman Mashaba, resigned in October.

The ANC outsmarted both the Democratic Alliance and Economic Freedom Fighters to have Geoff Makhubo voted in by a majority in the council.

And, court dismisses Myeni's bid to have Outa withdraw from delinquency case

The High Court in Pretoria has dismissed former South African Airways board chairperson Dudu Myeni's application challenging the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse's involvement in a case which seeks to have her declared a delinquent director.

Outa wants Myeni to be declared a delinquent director to stop her from serving on other boards after SAA lost billions of rands.
