South Africa is on its way to reaching 150 days of no load shedding.

Reporting on the outcomes of a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said President Cyril Ramaphosa's Cabinet was pleased that South Africa is on its way to achieving this "milestone".

"Today we are on 148 days without load shedding, and this milestone has been achieved with the reduction in the use of OCGT [open cycle gas turbines], resulting in R10.21 billion savings in the cost of diesel compared to the same period last year," Ntshavheni said.
