Load shedding will continue into the new week. City customers will be affected in the late afternoon. Eskom supplied residents will be affected throughout the day as Stage 1 load shedding continues on Monday, September 7 from 8am to 4pm. Thereafter Stage 2 will be implemented until 10pm.
“This pattern will repeat on Tuesday, with a high likelihood for Wednesday as well. Eskom will continue to communicate timeously should there be any changes as the system remains unreliable and vulnerable,” the power utility explained in a statement.
