Updated load shedding schedules for 2015

With power cuts and load shedding set to plunge many parts of South Africa into darkness again in 2015, Times LIVE has pulled together a list of schedules to help you plan around it.

Eskom

If your power is supplied directly from Eskom then the only way to find your load shedding 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.
