LOAD SHEDDING NEWS - Eskom on Tuesday announced that stage 3 load shedding will be implemented during the evenings, from 16:00 until midnight, until further notice.
The rolling blackouts will then be suspended from midnight until 16:00.
Eskom‘s spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said this is due to an improvement in available generation capacity.
“Eskom will publish another update as soon as any significant changes occur,” said Mokwena.

Consumers are reminded to use electricity sparingly after power returns, especially after a 4-hour load shedding slot.
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.
This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network and reduce current high MVA spikes.
