Parts of Gauteng will continue to experience scheduled power interruptions this week as Eskom rolls out scheduled load reduction across several suburbs from 7 to 13 April.
The schedule affects both morning and evening peak periods, with outages spanning four to five hours.
According to Eskom, load reduction targets specific high-pressure networks where infrastructure remains under sustained pressure due to illegal connections and overloading.
