South Africa’s government has announced sweeping reforms to address the country’s ongoing electricity crisis. The state-owned utility, Eskom, will undergo restructuring to improve efficiency and reduce corruption. The reforms also prioritize renewable energy, with plans to increase solar and wind energy production by 20% within five years. Rolling blackouts have plagued the nation, severely affecting businesses and daily life. The government’s new strategy aims to stabilize the power grid and ensure a more reliable electricity supply for South Africa’s population.
