Eskom Implements Stage 2 Loadshedding Until Tomorrow Morning

Eskom regrets to inform the public that stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented starting at 16h00 this afternoon until 5h00 tomorrow morning.

This loadshedding has been caused by the higher demand as a result of the cold front setting in much earlier than expected, as well as high breakdowns of generation units.

The generation supply constraints will persist throughout the high winter demand period, which increases the likelihood of loadshedding.

Eskom would like to appeal to the public to reduce the usage of electricity in order to assist the country get through these capacity constraints.
