While Eskom has yet to issue an update on the state of the power system, the utility did confirm on Wednesday, 14 June 2023 that rotational outages would follow a pattern of no loadshedding from midnight until 16:00 and Stage 3 in the evenings “until further notice.”

Therefore, barring no unforeseen breakdowns, households should enjoy no power interruptions on Monday until 16:00 and every weekday thereafter.

“Due to the consistent available generation capacity, loadshedding will continue to be suspended from midnight until 16:00…” the state-owned electricity supplier noted.
