So as it’s a public holiday, what better why to spend it with a nice braai as stage 4 load shedding will continue today.
Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented on Thursday, March 21 from 09:00 to 23:00.
This is due to a shortage of capacity.
Load shedding is a highly controlled process, implemented to protect the system and to prevent a total collapse of the system or a national blackout.
During Stage 4 load shedding, approximately 80% of the country’s demand is still being met.
Eskom’s maintenance teams are working round the clock to return generation units to the electricity system.
Customers are advised to keep checking their load shedding schedules on the Eskom or their municipal websites.
For Eskom customers, these schedules are available on the Eskom website (https://loadshedding.eskom.co.za).
Eskom customers can also contact our customer contact centre at 0860 037 566.
Eskom will provide regular updates on the status of the power system through all the media platforms.
Eskom sincerely apologises for the inconvenience during this difficult period.
