Sunday, 28 June 2020: We are
implementing load reduction from 05:00 – 09:00 to avoid network overloading in
high density areas that are prone to illegal connections, meter bypasses and
vandalism of electricity infrastructure.
Affected Areas:
Ivory Park -
Lindokuhle, Extension 2, Tswelopele Ext1, Ivory
Park Ext 6, 7A&B, Ext 8 and 10, Kaalfontein Ext 7 and Rabie Ridge.
Soweto -
Doornkop, Glen Ridge, Protea Glen, Protea
Industrial Park, Protea South, Bram Fischerville, Dobsonville, Dube, Meadowlands
East Zone 1, 2 & 4, Meadowlands West Zone 6, 7, 8 &9, Mmesi Park, Mofolo
North and Orlando.
During the
load reduction implementation, customers are urged to switch off all their
electrical appliances to avoid power surges when power returns. Failure to do so may lead to transformer
trips or failures, and damages to household appliances when supply is
restored.
Please
do not log a fault during this period.
Report
illegal connections on the Eskom Crime-Line number: 0800 11 27 22.
