eThekwini will resume normal load-shedding schedules from next week — What you need to know

From May 25, eThekwini will no longer have reduced levels of load-shedding as the municipality introduces a new and revised power cut schedule.

The municipality has been on a reduced schedule due to damage to infrastructure caused by the floods in KwaZulu-Natal in April last year.

It said the decision to introduce a new schedule was taken after discussions with Eskom.

“While the city’s infrastructure is not yet repaired to pre-flood levels, the city acknowledges the country’s need to reduce the load to protect the national grid.

“It has therefore become unavoidable for eThekwini to revert to normal load-shedding stages as experienced by the rest of the country,” the municipality said in a statement.
