Frankfort in the Free State has been experiencing less frequent load shedding thanks to an independent power producer in the area, Rural Maintenance. The company has been managing power distribution in the town for over a decade and was contracted by the Mafude Local Municipality. Through purchasing electricity from four local solar farms at a more affordable rate than Eskom, Rural Maintenance distributes power across the Mafube Municipality. Eskom has now threatened to block the company from reducing load-shedding schedules. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to CEO of Rural Maintenance, Chris Bosch.
