South Africa’s power generation capacity improves. Officials say they will gradually get rid of the power shortage.

　　China news agency, Johannesburg, July 3 (Reporter Damon) As of July 3, local time, South Africa’s power rationing level has dropped to a lower level III, and the duration of power rationing has reached the shortest in the past two years. According to South Africa’s Minister of Electricity Ramohopa, South Africa’s power generation capacity has improved significantly at present, and South Africans are expected to be protected from the impact of continuous power cuts this winter.

　　Since 2023, the problem of power rationing in South Africa has become more and more serious, and frequent power rationing measures have seriously affected the production and life of local people. At the beginning of the year, it once entered a state of national disaster due to large-scale power rationing. Especially with the coming of winter, the outside world has unanimously looked down on the power supply prospect of South Africa this winter.

　　However, with the coming to power of La Mohopa and the continuous reform of the power system, the power supply situation in South Africa has been continuously improved. According to Ramohopa, the expert team of the South African National Power Company is working around the clock to ensure that the power generation capacity of the power company can meet the people’s higher demand for electricity in winter. At present, it can basically guarantee that there will be no power cuts for two-thirds of the day, and the supply and demand are gradually shrinking, which will gradually get rid of the power cuts in South Africa.

　　According to Ramohopa, through strengthening internal supervision and the presence of the South African Defence Force, the current cases of sabotage and corruption against the South African power system have also been greatly reduced, which undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the outside world in the South African National Power Company.

　　However, Ramohopa admits that there are still many generator sets in trouble, and the power supply system is still fragile and faces greater risks. Therefore, the South African people still need to be prepared to deal with the possibility of nationwide power cuts.
