NATIONAL NEWS - As the generation capacity shortages persist over the next few weeks, load shedding will continue to be implemented at various stages.

According to municipality sources, they request that the public stagger the switching on of their appliances when load shedding is lifted to avoid overloading the network and creating a surge which causes our substations to trip thereby delaying restoration of power to all areas.

Your stages are:

6 July 2022  
Stage 2: 00:00 – 05:00
Stage 4: 05:00 – 22:00

7 July 2022
Stage 2:  00:00 - 05:00
Stage 4: 05:00 – 00:00

8  July 2022
Stage  2: 00:00 – 05:00
Stage 3: 05:00 – 00:00
