Police officers and intelligence officials will reportedly be deployed to all Eskom power facilities in the country, as fears of sabotage to the power system increase.
The Sunday Times reports that the emergency plan includes preventing possible sabotage to the electricity supply by those linked to state capture.
Last week, Eskom announced that it would probe allegations of sabotage after stage 4 load shedding was implemented.
The newspaper says there are suspicions that the crisis was deliberately created to undermine President Cyril Ramaphosa’s plans to change the structure and business model at the utility and get rid of corruption.
According to the report, security agencies are being roped in to detect any malicious attacks and protect power stations from sabotage.
On Saturday, Eskom announced that there would be a low probability for load shedding over the next few days.
