eTHEKWINI Municipality has been advised by Eskom to implement stage 2 load shedding from 4pm today (Monday,13 April) which is expected to continue until 10pm.
Customers are urged to reduce their consumption in order to reduce severity of load shedding.
The municipality released a new load shedding schedule, which was implemented on Tuesday, 7 April. Residents are urged to familiarise themselves with the new schedule so they can be prepared in the event of load shedding.
The schedule seeks to address some of the issues raised by customers and attempts to minimise interruptions and introduce more fairness in the allocation of blocks.
In some instances, technical difficulties in restoring electricity may occur and should a customer remain without electricity for a substantial amount of time after the block has been scheduled to be restored, then that incident must be treated as a fault and reported to the electricity contact centre on 080-13-13-111.
