Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan is meeting executives from state power firm Eskom on Monday to find solutions to the country's electricity crisis, Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe told Reuters.

Eskom said on Monday it would cut 4 000 MW from the national grid from 13:00 after six additional generating units went offline unexpectedly.
