Eskom will implement stage one load shedding from 5pm today, which is likely to continue until 10pm this evening.
The power system is currently constrained and under pressure because of the increased demand in electricity as a result of the current cold front and a shortage of generating capacity as some of the power station units are currently on maintenance.
As a result, Eskom said load shedding would be necessary.
As the weather is quite cold at the moment, Eskom is appealing to customers to find alternative ways of keeping warm and using electricity sparingly throughout the day.
Ballito and Stanger will not have any load shedding, but Umdloti and La Mercy will go lights out from 8pm to 10pm.
