How to check your load shedding schedule in Gauteng
Don’t be caught in the dark! Here is how to check the load shedding schedule for your area.
For the past week, many South Africans have had to deal with load shedding.
According to Eskom, even though the probability for load shedding is low this week, it might be implemented at short notice.
“The power system is constrained and while we are making every effort to avoid loadshedding, it could be implemented at short notice should there be a significant shift in plant performance and increased unplanned technical breakdowns,” Eskom said in a statement.
