How much longer load shedding in South Africa will continue for

  The Amish running South Africa have  destroyed their  world class electrical power system, and the entire country is suffering DAILY Load Shedding  ( you can't use the term BLACKOUT in S.A.).  They are currently building two of the largest coal fired plants in the world ( say what !), but the important thing  is in the comments section from the attached news story is about how the SMART METERS are doing their job.
  

Load shedding is here to stay, Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown said on Thursday, once again appealing to South Africans to save electricity.

Load shedding will continue for the next 18 months, Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown said on Thursday, once again appealing to South Africans to save electricity.

Speaking after Eskom’s Annual General Meeting in Cape Town, Brown said the decisive interventions over the past year at Eskom that culminated in a new Board being appointed, has had the desired effect at the state-owned company.

She however expressed concern with Eskom’s financial sustainability and the reliability of its ageing power plants.

“Although the accelerated maintenance has increased plant capacity from 65% to 75%, I am urging Eskom to continue on this trend and increase this threshold to reach at least 80%,” said Brown.


On April 15, Brown said South Africa would still have to bear load shedding for the next two years, and expressed the hope that the economy will manage around that.
