High risk of blackouts as Eskom start maintenance

The National Planning Commission's Anton Eberhard told Parliamentarians that the currently low reserve margin meant that electricity supply was "tight".
Business Day says that as Eskom starts its maintenance programme, less plant is available to generate power and if there is a cold snap or higher than expected demand for electricity, there is a risk of widespread power failures.
