Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa is visiting Lethabo Power Station, once a top-performing facility but now grappling with operational challenges and underperformance.

The minister's visit aims to identify the root causes of these issues, particularly as recent rolling blackouts have been attributed to performance problems at various power stations, including Lethabo.

Ramokgopa's trip follows a recent visit to Kendal Power Station, where he attributed underperformance to infrastructure-related issues. He is expected to assess and address similar concerns at Lethabo as part of ongoing efforts to stabilize the country’s power supply.
