Is the worst of loadshedding really over or will it soon be back? We ask the experts

We’re in “touching distance” of not having loadshedding, the electricity minister tells us. The worst is over. South Africa is in a better position than it’s been in a long time.

And it’s been so long since we’ve had loadshedding – 40 days and counting at the time YOU went to print – it’s almost tempting to believe it.

Things have been so quiet that EskomSePush (ESP) has even started sending us reminders that they’re still here.
