Eskom Implements ‘load Reduction’ In Parts Of Soweto

Thousands of households in Soweto have been plunged into darkness after Eskom announced it would be implementing “load reduction”.

The power utility said it would cut off electricity supply to Dobsonville, Naledi, Zola and Emdeni at around 5 o’clock on Sunday morning.

It said it’s trying to avoid network overloading in high density areas of Gauteng.

The utility said the so-called “load reduction” will last until 9 o’clock.
