At the same time, Johannesburg City Power has warned residents to use electricity sparingly as inclement weather was expected to increase pressure on the power network.

Residents are also encouraged to unplug heavy appliances, such as geysers, stoves, and heaters during load shedding at least 15 minutes before power restoration to avoid inrush currents trips.
