LOAD SHEDDING NEWS - Following a week of slight relief from load shedding, embattled power utility Eskom implemented Stage 2 power cuts on Friday from 05:00 until further notice.
Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said load shedding is a result of the loss of four generation units.
Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 on Friday until further notice. Eskom will communicate should any significant changes occur.
Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly after power returns. Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after load shedding.
Consumers are urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding is scheduled to return. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.
