According to Khulu Phasiwe from the Eskom Media Desk, “We have not implemented load shedding but there is a high risk that we might later today. At this point in time it is impossible to say what time there will be load shedding, and what stage.”
Phasiwe continued “We have already asked our large customers to save electricity where they can to ease the grid.
“If they can manage this and the supply is not to great for the demand later this afternoon then we might not even have to implement load shedding.”
