Eskom has just announced that stage two power blackouts will be implemented from 5pm to 10pm on Monday and will run until Thursday. Loadshedding

Eskom has appealed to all South Africans to help limit the impact of the shortages by continuing to reduce the usage of electricity and switching off all non-essential items.

Eskom spokesperson Sikhonathi Mantshantsha says the power system is very constrained for this evening and for the next few weeks.the likelihood of load shedding is high and may be required at short notice, most likely during the evening peaks between 17:00 and 22:00. Eskom will continue to closely monitor the system, adjust and communicate any changes as may be necessary. We currently have 5 232MW on planned maintenance, while another 14 623MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns. We would like to remind the public that load shedding is implemented only as a last resort to protect the national grid.
