Eskom have just announced that they have implemented Stage 6 load-shedding for the country, starting at 6pm.
This is due to a technical problem at Medupi Power Station impacting additional generation supply.
We regret and sincerely apologise that stage 4 loadshedding will move to Stage 6 loadshedding as from 18:00 today, as a result of a shortage of capacity. This follows a technical problem at Medupi Power Station impacting additional generation supply. https://t.co/Nxo0ltbuee pic.twitter.com/YXdfI0PzrM

Residents are encouraged to help Eskom by using electricity sparingly. They can do this by switching off geysers, as well as non-essential lighting and electrical appliances to reduce the demand.
