Eskom on Monday cancelled its scheduled update briefing on the load-shedding crisis, saying its management team was meeting President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The power utility earlier announced that outgoing CEO Andre de Ruyter and his team will host a virtual media briefing at 5pm as South Africa is gripped by load-shedding.
“Unfortunately, this afternoon’s media briefing is postponed due to emergency engagements with the president. A new date and time can only be confirmed once meetings with the president are concluded,” Eskom said.
Eskom implemented stage 6 load-shedding on Wednesday.
Ramaphosa announced on Sunday he had cancelled his trip to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this week to deal with the power crisis.
