Update: Load-shedding schedule

The load-shedding schedule will be starting at Day 21 as per the schedule given by the municipality.

Load-shedding will continue during the night and the weekend, right up until Wednesday.

As reasons for the latest load-shedding, Eskom says that the power system is extremely constrained due to unforeseen technical problems at power stations, depleted water reserves at their peaking power stations which use water to generate electricity, and depleted diesel reserves to fire up the open-cycle gas turbines.
