Eskom has issued a notification that loadshedding could happen at any time. While no cuts are predicted at this time, the electrical system is still stressed, according to the company.
As a result, if there are any large outages on Thursday, June 2nd, loadshedding may be essential.
“Eskom will continue to closely monitor the system, adjust and communicate any changes as may be necessary. We appeal to all South Africans to help limit the impact of the shortages by continuing to reduce the usage of electricity and to switch off all non-essential items.”
Eskom paused daily power disruptions that recurred for weeks in May, prompting the warning of possible loadshedding.
South Africans will have to endure with more cutbacks barely two days after loadshedding was suspended.
Once the utility makes a decision, details about the stages of loadshedding that will be implemented will be communicated.
During the month of May, power outages occurred between the hours of 17h00 and 22h00.
