#Eskomloadshedding gets cold shoulder on twitter
Eskom says the risk of loadshedding remains high for Tuesday morning as a result of the industrial action.
Despite not implementing rotational loadshedding yesterday, the risk of loadshedding remains high during Tuesday’s morning peak demand period from 05h00.
This is as a result of the current industrial action at Eskom power stations which has impacted operations.
Eskom will advise if loadshedding will be conducted in either stage 1, stage 2, stage 3 or stage 4, dependent on the capacity shortage.
Despite the announcement from the power utility, Tweeps were not impressed:
Hey .@Eskom_SA, we are finding it hard to stay faithful. Maybe we should take a break? You know, see other people?@NERSA_ZA @Energy_ZA @radebe_jeff pic.twitter.com/0Kl2TC5AmF

“We encourage residents and businesses to please use electricity sparingly to ease the demand of electricity. Please switch off geysers during the day especially during peak periods (05:00 to 10:00 and 17:00 to 22:00) as well as all non-essential lighting and electricity appliances to assist in reducing demand,” said Eskom in a statement.
