China News Agency, Johannesburg, July 4 (Reporter Wang Xi) Only two days after the reduction of the level of power curtailment measures, the South African National Power Company resumed the sixth-level power curtailment measures again on July 4, local time, which means that South Africa currently needs to reduce power curtailments every day. The power supply load is at least 6000 megawatts.

　　In this regard, the South African National Power Company explained that "the current power supply system is still in a very fragile state", and its power generation system will take several weeks to fully return to the level before the strike.

A few days ago, the strike on the power system caused by the poor negotiation of labor disputes aggravated the already weak power supply crisis in South Africa. The average daily power outage lasted about 8 hours, which seriously affected the normal production and life of South Africans.

　　According to the spokesman of the South African National Electricity Company, Mancentesa, the labor-management negotiations between the company and the South African government have not yet ended, and the negotiations are still in progress.

Once the two parties reach an agreement, the employees of the South African National Power Company are expected to resume work and production as soon as possible, and maintain the power supply equipment that has failed, so that the power supply situation in South Africa can be gradually restored.

It is expected that in a week's time, the South African National Electricity Company is expected to reduce its blackout level to two.

　　However, the intensifying rationing measures seem to have exhausted the patience of the South African people.

The Black Business Council has issued a statement calling for the resignation of Druidt, the chief executive of the National Electricity Company of South Africa, as soon as possible, because of the two and a half years in charge of the national power company of South Africa, because he did not realize the improvement when he took office. Promise of South African electricity supply and the company's corruption situation.

　　As one of the most important state-owned enterprises in South Africa, the National Electricity Company of South Africa is currently in deep debt crisis.

Affected by multiple factors such as frequent failures of generator sets, lack of maintenance of equipment, and rising fuel prices, South Africa has gradually become "normal" since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

Entering 2022, the electricity crisis in South Africa has not been improved by the introduction of the national power system reform plan, but has intensified.
