*Eskom Blames Floods For South Africa's Power Crisis* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?lc South Africa’s power utility, Eskom, has blamed flash flooding for increased load shedding over the past few days. In an interview with News24 on Monday evening, Eskom spokesperson Dikatso Mothae said flooding was a major factor in the sudden shift to stage 6 power cuts. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Eskom revealed earlier that flooding at both the Kriel mine in Mpumalanga and the Kriel power station had halted all coal deliveries through conveyor belts. Also in Mpumalanga, abnormally high rainfall at Camden power station led to flooding which affected critical infrastructure. Eskom began to implement stage 6 load shedding for the first time at 6 pm on Monday. At 10 pm, the power utility announced that it was reverting to stage 4 from stage 6. It added that stage 4 power cuts would continue until 11 pm on Tuesday. Large parts of South Africa have been receiving abnormally high rainfall over the past few days resulting in flash floods in Centurion and Mamelodi that resulted in evacuations. *More: News24* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
