The electricity power supply remains constrained with the constant risk of load-shedding until September as communicated by Eskom earlier in the week.
The City of Ekurhuleni will therefore apply load-shedding in accordance with the available supply from the electricity provider.
Customers are requested to follow the load-shedding schedule available on the City’s website at www.ekurhuleni.gov.za.
