LOOMING LARGE
LOOMING LARGE: State-owned power utility Eskom has been warning for several months that the risk of load-shedding will loom as large as these power lines do over this Cape Town informal settlement. In its official planning, Eskom indicates that electricity shortages are possible during most weeks until April, after which the prognosis is expected to improve. The utility has also indicated previously that the risk of power cuts will be “significantly reduced, but not eliminated” only by September in line with progress being made under its so-called reliability maintenance programme.
