Eskom has announced that due to lower than anticipated demand, rolling blackouts will continue to be implemented at Stage Four until 22:00 tonight, (previously Stage Six). Loadshedding

Meanwhile, Eskom CEO Andre De Ruyter, has emphasized the importance of the power utility’s employees returning to work in an effort to lift the current stages of rolling blackouts.

Trade unions NUMSA and NUM say they will be engaging Eskom in the central Bargaining Council Forum on the proposal that the power utility has tabled.Last week, NUMSA accused Eskom of abandoning the wage negotiations. Unions say this angered workers who then embarked on an unprotected strike. Small businesses have taken a hammering and municipalities have also complained that the rolling blackouts are putting a strain on their resources.Meanwhile, Johannesburg’s City Power has warned residents that some areas will be without power for up to four hours instead of two hours under Stage Six blackouts.

Let them play this game but one day we all gonna sing the same tune

Eskom maak net kak niks loadsedings in summer only winter that makes you think .

Just give the operated in the control room an watch or send them back to school as they can't tell time, for example in Vereeniging the time never goes off and on on the times it's scheduled for as normal it's now off for almost 5 hours now

Why dont they load tge other countries,demandi g our power instead of us who oay wvery month for it. Bet all the other countries,dont pay like we have to do. They are probably owing milliobs to eskom. Doesn't charity begin at home abd not in other countries.

Tell Eskom their POES respectfully.

When are we going to Zero rate Electricity, i.e and pay no VAT on it,is it not a basic need like Petrol . geordinhl CyrilRamaphosa

Is eskom going to compensate for out meat that is going off in out fridges?

Why you bloodyeskom

We have been experiencing Loadshading from 18:00 till know the power is not back...what stage is this EskomGauteng Loadshading

If they just follow the schedule what they give us then we can plan. Thanks for the mes you leave our country in .

This loashedding thing pis me off

I wonder if there is loadshedding at Zimbabwe as they getting power from us

Loadshedding only happens in South Africa for real. When I tell my friends oversees, they cannot believe it. onlyinsouthafricaforreal

It dis grass that eskom loardshaiding

Kudzima

Let's change the party this party is failing

Eskom must just go

My question is what about us going out without power for days

While no loadshedding would be nice,I suppose stage 4 is better then stage 6. Eskom is a SOE, so we know who is really responsible for the whole mess... the ruling party I would think.

Follow Eskom

Tell eskom to stop lying it's 4hours now since they switched off our lights at Berea and we will not pay the electricity bill this month

We really need national shut down, Ramaphosa and his family are happy wherever they are and we are in darkness

Bet you our electricity bill won't be any less than a normal month 🤬🤬

We don’t care

Eskom CEO is a failure , Parliament must cross examine him about his strategies to end load shedding, it seems like the guy is clueless and MYANC government is doing nothing about that.EskomCEOmustfall

Thelordofblackouts must be fired nje how can we survive with just 8hrs of electricity in a day while running a business

It is 'ROLLING BLACKOUTS!' Not the rubbish terminology sponsored by Eskom.
