SOUTH Africa has gone 300 days without load shedding, dispelling the myth that it was a pre-2024 election ploy to win votes for the ruling party.
Monday, 20 January 2025, marked 300 consecutive days without load shedding. The relative absence of load shedding is positive for the economy, which should register a growth of 1.5 to 2% in 2025, up from less than 1% in 2024, according to the Minerals Council SA.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is forecasting growth of 1.5% in SA for 2025, rising to 1.6% in 2026. – moneyweb.co.za
