Health Department: Nearly 80 hospitals excluded from blackouts

Health Department spokesperson Foster Mohale says nearly 80 hospitals have been exempted from blackouts.

He says the department is working with Eskom and municipalities to ensure health facilities and patients are not affected by rolling power cuts.

Eskom is currently implementing Stage 2 blackouts and says the continued power cuts are mainly due to the high level of breakdowns and the limited emergency generation reserves.
