Two consecutive days of Stage 4 load shedding at key pumping stations will run dry its reservoirs, Gauteng water supplier Rand Water says.
Until this week Stage 4 electricity rationing was almost unheard of, but Eskom implemented the measure on both Sunday and Monday, with no clear answers on when it would be able to fully meet demand again. Reservoirs are already below the ideal 60% to 80% level due to the recent heatwave and capacity constraints, spokesperson Justice Mohale said in response to Business Insider questions.
Rand Water has a deal with Eskom that its pumps are the last to be blacked out during electricity shortages, Mohale said. But this applies only to pumps directly supplied by Eskom, not the many connected via municipal grids – and only applies up to Stage 3.

Eskom upgrades load-shedding to stage 4Load shedding will move from stage 3 to stage 4 by midday on Saturday, Eskom announced. I associate the word 'upgrade' with a positive change, e.g. an upgrade from economy-class to business-class. Maybe we should say 'downgrades' from stage 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, etc., and 'upgrades' from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1? Load Shedding is *not* a crisis. This is the *success* of RET that we should be celebrating and congratulating the ANC for delivering. Its what we voted for when we elected Zuma (twice).
