Despite significant progress in our generation recovery efforts, higher-than-expected electricity demand, the loss of generation units, and extensive planned maintenance have placed strain on the system. As a result, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 today and will remain in effect until 05:00 tomorrow.

Given these ongoing constraints, we urge the public to use electricity sparingly to help reduce pressure on the grid.

Eskom sincerely apologises for the inconvenience and will continue to provide updates as necessary.(Eskom)

Roadworks are currently underway around Thembalethu Library. During the process, the contractor damaged a fibre cable, and now requires replacement. As a result, the Thembalethu Library and its E-Centre have lost internet connectivity until repairs are completed.

🛠 Repair work has already commenced, with the team currently gathering the necessary information and materials. The Estimated Time of Repair (ETR) is not yet available.

We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate the public’s patience as we work to restore the service.
