Power cuts - find your load shedding schedules

With power cuts and load shedding plunging many parts of South Africa into darkness, TimesLIVE has pulled together a list of schedules to help you plan around it.

To help navigate when the power will be off, TimesLIVE has compiled the following load shedding schedules for a number of municipalities:

Eskom

If your power is supplied directly from Eskom then the only way to find your schedule is by visiting the power provider's site. Type in your suburb/area in the search box to easily locate your area, i.e. Pimville or the Midvaal municipality.

Johannesburg

If you live in Joohannesburg your electricity most probably is supplied by City Power.
