Load shedding in Joburg: These suburbs will be affected today | Sunday Independent

Johannesburg - Power utility Eskom announced on Wednesday that Stage 2 load shedding would be effected after the energy grid came under severe strain this week.

“As a result of the loss of additional generation, delays in the return to service of units that are on planned maintenance and limited diesel supply, it has become necessary to implement stage 2 rotational loadshedding from 9am until 11pm in order to protect the power system from a total collapse,” said the power utility.

The areas to be effected on Wednesday, should the load shedding status remain on Stage 2, include the following areas: Florida, Glen Lea, Industria North, Roodeport North, Delarey, Carenvale, Robertville, Stormill, West Lake, White Ridge, Alexandra, Allendale, Glen Austin, Klipfontein, Kyalami Estate, Vorna Valley nd Willaway.

“In the event generator breakdowns are experienced beyond 10 500MW there will be high usage of emergency resources , which may lead to loadshedding if the supply constraints is sustained for a long duration.

Terrible reporter bad at mathematics wrote this article. From 4pm to 8:30pm isn't '...for up to 4 hours at...' it's more than 4 hours, it's 4 & a half hours.

Its a sad when you see the devastating impact of load shedding on hardworking peoples lives but maybe people should also prepare and educate themselves on cost effective alternatives to survive this chronic crisis called load shedding
