Eskom has reiterated a call for the public to use electricity sparingly during peak hours by switching off non-essential items.

, which ended at 10pm. Eskom has apologised to the public for the recent power cuts – saying management is working on resolving the issues faced by the utility.

Eskom’s Spokesperson Sikhonathi Mantshantsha says “The onset of winter has seen increased demand and this will lead to capacity constraints throughout the winter period, particularly during the evening and morning peaks. Unfortunately, this would generally require the implementation of loadshedding during the evening peaks. Eskom would like to remind the public that loadshedding is implemented only as a last resort to protect the national grid.

De Ruyter was speaking during a media briefing. He says, “What we have been trying to do is minimise the impact on national life by restricting the hours during which loadshedding is implemented. Nonetheless, we fully appreciate that loadshedding remains a huge inconvenience and we therefore again would like to extend our apologies. I can give you the assurance that my executives and I are seized with the matter and we are working hard to resolve the issues that are outstanding.

Eskom has been implementing Stage 2 power cuts from Monday between five o’clock in the afternoon and 10 o’clock at night.

But the street lights at my location and other places are on daylight every day. Why don't they switch them during the day so to save energy

But they keep street lights on during the day

maybe they need to stop selling our power to other countries .

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.

We've been doing this the whole time. Electricity is so expensive we wish we could switch off even the essential ones.🥺

They must go to hell
