(Gordon) JOHANNESBURG - Its likely to be a dark weekend, as rolling blackouts kick off again from 9 o clock on Saturday. Eskom is advising its customers to go to its website for the planned load shedding schedule. The power utility warned that the outages are likely to be stretched over Christmas and the New Year. It blames the third blackout this year, on unforeseen technical problems at power stations, plus depleted water and diesel reserves. Unfortunately the dams are only so big, we cant build them any bigger, and also with diesel, its shipped into the country and weve just basically pumped the country dry and the fact of the matter is we have been putting extrodinary pressrue on our supply chains and theyve not been able to meet our demands, said Eskom spokesperson Andrew Etzinger.
