Why is there loadshedding at Stage 2?
According to Eskom, although they anticipate lower weekend electricity demand, a power cut is necessary. Loadshedding Stage 2 must happen as they must replenish emergency reserves in preparation for the next week.
Eskom also highlighted that they will be keeping track of the power system and will share updates if there are any.

South Africa shun Eskom
Netizens commented with their frustration. Loadshedding is nothing new to people, and most of them are unimpressed.
Some people are pointing fingers at the Minister of Electricity. Others are more concerned with the ruling party, saying their government failed.
There are peeps more concerned about Bafana Bafana soccer match that will be broadcast live on 3 February 2024 at 10pm. People wonder why there was no loadshedding free time like during the Rugby World Cup.
Sindile Tobayo commented:
"There's no implementation here, it's just a norm. Actually there is no need to update us because it's always dark, even on the road there are those robots that you know that they are always not working."
Nosipho Nyembe Masondo said:
"The only people who keep their word, if they say you will be in the dark, they mean it."
Lebo Fortunate added:
"Final notice will be my final say on the next coming elections."
Tessa Red Tee wrote:
"No Eskom implementation of this stage is leading to a suspension cause soccer game is on..... yall haven't noticed the pattern?"
Joyce Malemela remarked:
"We see you because it is voter registration weekend."
Mashegoanej Wa-ga Ramoloto complained:
"There was no loadshedding ka Rugby World Cup, can we please also watch soccer in peace."
Phillip Mshana insisted:
"They must cancel this thing just for today only so that all South Africans can able watch Bafana Bafana the same as what happened to Rugby World Cup."
American man tastes loadshedding because of love
Briefly News reported that loadshedding has made an enemy out of an American who moved to Mzansi for love. The gent jokingly showed frustration when the lights went off and stayed off for four hours. He took the time to shower his bae with TLC.
@beyondborders_jh posted their video on TikTok, a comic take on how the American gent perceives loadshedding. The fellow in a relationship with a Venda woman starts the clip with a caption saying he gave a South African girl a chance. The next frame shows him frustrated that loadshedding has introduced itself to him.
