Eskom said their IT department is attending to a technical problem with their Loadshedding Notifier App.

According to the Loadshedding Notifier App, there was not supposed to be any load-shedding in Randfontein on Friday morning (31 January) but there was a power outage between 9am and noon. This left residents confused.
