    Power cuts have worsened since last Tuesday when Eskom said it would implement Stage 6 load shedding until further notice.

    "Currently, the president is convening a meeting with leaders of political parties represented in parliament, NECCOM (National Energy Crisis Committee) and the Eskom board," Vincent Magwenya said.

    He added that further briefing sessions with key stakeholders will take place during this coming week.
