Power utility Eskom says the risk of load shedding this week is low. Yesterday stage one load shedding had to be implemented due to cold weather conditions in some parts of the country, which led to people using more electricity.

Eskom Spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe said the power system is currently stable as some of the units that were out of service yesterday, because of technical faults are now back online.

Phasiwe says “I have to caution thought that later in the afternoon that is when we expecting the system to come under severe pressure with a high possibility of load- shedding”.

In the interim we asking all customers to assist us in terms of using electricity sparingly so that all of us collectively can take the responsibility of avoiding load-shedding, Phasiwe added
