POWER utility Eskom yesterday dampened a buoyant business mood, implementing stage 4 load shedding just hours after the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Sacci) said business leaders had expressed their highest level of confidence in trading conditions in three years.
Sacci warned the blackouts could affect business sentiment as an improved business climate and rising exports boosted its confidence index.

JOHANNESBURG - TRADE conditions in South Africa have turned more positive following a meaningful improvement in March after the lockdown in December dampened trade.
Sacci said that the sentiment had improved significantly from a year ago, with the Trade Expectations Index (TEI) increasing by not less than 13 index points a year ago.
The pro-business lobby group said the lockdown process had an adverse effect on business and a number of regular respondents went out of business.
It said the restrictions gave way to a more optimistic outlook in February and March.
Business confidence sags in March on continued Covid-19 uncertainty

JOHANNESBURG - BUSINESS confidence in South Africa fell to a four-month low in March as the economy battled to gather upward momentum on prevailing uncertainty over intermittent lockdowns.
The SA Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Sacci) said yesterday that the business confidence index (BCI) dropped to 94 points in March from 94.3 points in February. This was the lowest reading in the BCI since last November 2020 and after reaching a two-year high in January 2021.
Sacci said the business climate had remained constricted due to continuing economic uncertainty. It said the prospects of a further lockdown in the offing with rumours of a third wave of infections becoming prevalent was also contributing to the negative climate.
