<<<<Sunday, 9 March 2025: After the recovery of more than 3 000MW of generation capacity and replenishment of sufficient emergency reserves in the past 44 hours, loadshedding will be suspended today at 10:00.

Coal operations at Kusile Power Station are at optimal levels, with all units that were offline as of Friday now back in service. Progress on the recovery of Koeberg Unit 2 recovery is well underway.

Eskom reassures the public that Koeberg Unit 2 remains safe.
Planned maintenance outages aimed at preparing for winter and meeting regulatory and environmental licensing requirements continue.

The team is working diligently to restore 4 091MW back to service by Monday.

Eskom’s Summer Outlook, published on 26 August 2024, remains unchanged.

We maintain our guidance that loadshedding is largely behind us due to structural improvements in the generation fleet. While baseload capacity remains constrained, our generation recovery plan is addressing this challenge. The dedicated efforts of our highly skilled staff remain unwavering.

Eskom will communicate further when it is necessary.(Eskom)>>>>>>

The George Municipality, in collaboration with the Department of Social Development (DSD), will host a Capacity Building Workshop for Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) on 12 and 13 March 2025 at the George Municipal Banquet Hall, starting at 09:30 each day.

Facilitated by DSD officials, the workshop aims to equip NPOs with essential knowledge to meet their obligations under the NPO Act 71 of 1997.

According to Jonel Kerspuy, Coordinator: Youth Development at George Municipality, participants will learn how to establish and maintain an effective non-profit board, a crucial aspect of ensuring good governance and strategic leadership within their organisations. The session will also cover fundraising basics and strategies for identifying potential donors, helping NPOs secure the resources they need to sustain their initiatives.

Additionally, attendees will gain insights into the importance of building and maintaining strong donor relationships, a key factor in long-term funding success. The workshop will also provide guidance on writing compelling proposals, enabling NPOs to effectively communicate their mission and needs to potential funders.

Kerspuy said that this event presents a unique opportunity for registered NPOs and those in the process of registering to gain critical skills, network with fellow organisations, and engage with officials from the DSD and George Municipality.

NPOs interested in attending are encouraged to participate and take advantage of this vital resource.
