No load shedding has been scheduled according to Khulu Phasiwe from Eskom‘s media desk yet neighboring areas such as Roodepoort were left without electricity on the morning of Monday 9 February.

During the telephone conversation with the herald Phasiwe said, “The risk of load is medium to high, 50 per cent if we are talking percentages. the reason for this is that a number of generators that were expected to be back are not yet back. We are starting the week on a low but we have enough generation capacity to meet demand today (Monday 9 February).”

He continued “We have not declared load shedding at this time.”

Further comment is awaited from the media desk regarding the two conflicting reports regarding load shedding this morning.

On the Randfontein load shedding schedule, it reads that from 2pm to 6:30pm there will be load shedding satge 1, 2, and 3 in Randgate, Randpoort, Eikepark, Helikonpark, Culemborgpark, part of Homelake, part of Greenhills, Wheatlands, Loumarina, Bootha A/Hooster Plotte, Elandvlei, Sewerage Farm.
