Gungubele: Update on energy crisis on Friday

JOHANNESBURG - Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele says a special briefing will be held on Friday to provide an update on the progress being made to deal with the country's energy crisis.

This after the national state of disaster was gazetted, to fast-track interventions aimed at reducing power cuts.

"Cabinet understands the frustrations," said Gungubele.

Meanwhile, Eskom has announced a mixed bag of rolling blackouts ranging from Stage 3 to Stage 5 until Sunday.

That is after breakdowns at various power stations.
