Though the power crisis seemed less severe in February than in January, Eskom's generation capacity slipped further that month, Statistics South Africa's data showed. Power station problems with coal and maintenance resulted in Eskom's electricity production falling by 5,6percent or 1157 gigawatt-hours from January to 19542 gigawatt-hours in February. - Robert Laing
