Johannesburg - President Thabo Mbeki is to meet with the management of electricity utility, Eskom to ascertain the depth of the problem and the company's remedial plans, the Presidency said on Saturday.

"The president's intervention will compliment discussions in which Minister of Mineral and Energy, Buyelwa Sonjica is already engaged with Eskom," presidential spokesperson Mukoni Ratshitanga said.

He said Mbeki will table the matter before the forthcoming Cabinet Lekgotla that begins in Pretoria on Tuesday ending on Thursday, he said.

Eskom said on Friday that the current round of load shedding is likely to remain until Thursday.
