If Eskom load shedding isn't working

Is it down for everyone? Check whether your area is in a scheduled load-shedding slot first. If it isn't, it's likely a local fault.

  • Check your prepaid meter still has units before reporting a fault.
  • Switch off sensitive appliances to protect them when power returns.
  • Log a fault with your municipality or Eskom and keep the reference number.
  • Tell @Eskom_SA on X. Companies respond faster when many people post.
