High risk of load shedding returns this afternoon – your schedule

There is an increased risk of Stage 1 load shedding from 2pm to 10pm on Thursday, Eskom warned.

There is also a possibility that load shedding will remain until the end of the weekend as a result of a shortage of generating capacity.

The load shedding risk remains high for Thursday and Friday and will continue over the weekend as there is a need to replenish emergency reserves (water and diesel) to limit the possibility and magnitude of load shedding in the following week.

5.30pm – 8.30pm: Geyser ripple control
