Stage 4 load-shedding continues on Monday
Brace yourself for load-shedding as Eskom continues with stage 4 load-shedding on Monday.
“Load-shedding will continue throughout the night shifting to stage 2 from 11pm this evening (Sunday) until 9am on Monday morning. Stage 4 load-shedding will be implemented on Monday March 18 from 9am to 11pm. On Tuesday March 19 up to stage 4 load-shedding will be implemented. This is due to a shortage of capacity,” the power utility tweeted on Sunday evening.

“We remind customers that load-shedding stage 4 is no cause for alarm as the system is being effectively controlled. Load-shedding is a highly controlled process, implemented to protect the system and to prevent a total collapse of the system or a national blackout.”

People seem to be surprised by the state of #eskom - Stage 4 #loadshedding etc. Where have they been over the past 5 years? We've seen every single parastatal corrupted, broken and bankrupted incl. SAA, SABC, PRASA etc. Eskom was simply another one.
