The City of Ekurhuleni (CoE) released a statement informing residents about constrained electricity supply, which is at constant risk of loadshedding until September as communicated by Eskom recently.
CoE spokesperson Zweli Dlamini said the City will therefore apply loadshedding in accordance with the available supply from the electricity provider.
“Customers are requested to follow the loadshedding schedule available on the City’s website.”
