Eskom has announced the implementation of Stage 3 load shedding, set to begin at 5:00 PM today, Friday, 31 January 2025. The decision, made by Dr. Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, aims to replenish depleted power reserves and maintain the stability of the national grid.


Dr. Kgosientsho Ramokgopa addressed the nation, describing the current energy crisis as a “perfect storm.” He explained that a combination of factors, including unexpected plant breakdowns and heightened demand, has contributed to the current situation.


“We are facing a confluence of challenges that have strained our power generation capacity,” said Dr. Ramokgopa.

Stage 3 load shedding will be implemented daily from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. During this time, selected areas across the country will experience power outages as Eskom works to restore and stabilise the power supply. Eskom has urged consumers to prepare for these outages and to use electricity sparingly during the load shedding periods.
