LOAD SHEDDING NEWS - According to Eskom, whilst some generating units have returned to service since Sunday, some are experiencing delays.
Due to these delays in returning the units back to service and the need to conserve emergency reserves, Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 05:00 until 16:00 on Wednesday, 15 November, followed by Stage 3 load shedding from 16:00 until 05:00 on Thursday, 16 November.
This pattern of implementing Stage 2 load shedding in the morning and Stage 3 load shedding in the evening will be repeated daily until further notice.
Eskom will monitor the system and 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.
