LOAD SHEDDING NEWS - Barely a day after President Cyril Ramaphosa told the country that the “worst of load shedding is behind us” during his state of the nation address (Sona), Eskom ramped up the power cuts to stage 6 from midnight on Friday until further notice.
The last time the country was at stage 6 was at the end of November 2023.

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.
