Update
LOAD SHEDDING NEWS - Your Monday may be blue, but it promises to be a little less dark after Eskom announced a reduction in load shedding.
The power utility said improvements to generation capacity and performance meant load shedding will be reduced to Stage 1 from 12:00 today until 16:00.
Unfortunately, Stage 3 load shedding is still with us and will run from 16:00 until 05:00 on Tuesday. This is a slight reduction from Stage 4, as announced earlier.
Load shedding will be implemented between Stage 2 and 4 from Tuesday until further notice.

Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly after power returns. Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after load shedding.
Consumers are urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding is scheduled to return. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.
