Eskom denies claims of 14-hour load-shedding in June
Warnings about extended outages circulated online this week, prompting a firm response from Eskom about the accuracy of such claims.
Eskom has denied allegations that it plans to implement 14-hour load-shedding in June.
According to the Sandton Chronicle, the power supplier took to its various social media pages to refute claims of extended load-shedding planned for June. This comes after social media and online forums were flooded with alarming reports of a looming 14-hour power outage across the country.
“The power system is stable, and load-shedding has remained suspended since 22:00 on May 15. There are no planned outages of this scale,“ said the power supplier on its Facebook page.
The utility warned that misinformation can lead to unnecessary panic and urged customers to rely solely on verified Eskom channels for news and updates.
