On Sunday, Eskom issued an update on the state of the power system, confirming the new week will 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.

“We thank those South Africans who do heed the call to use electricity sparingly and efficiently, including switching off geysers from 17:00 to 21:00, as this lowers demand and helps in alleviating the pressure on the power system and contributes to lower stages of loadshedding,” the utility wrote.

The power utility assured South Africans that “the team is working tirelessly to ensure that generating units are returned to service as soon as possible.”
