Eskom gives two reasons for the power cuts – high demand and urgent maintenance.

Powerhouse Eskom announced the reason for load shedding in some areas is due to high demand or urgent maintenance being performed at certain power stations.

According to Andrew Etzinger from Eskom, “This has been exasperated by the depletion of dam levels at hydro power stations and diesel reserve at OCGT plants.”

It is believed that load shedding will continue until 8pm tonight in some areas. Tell us your story at randfonteinherald@caxton.co.za
