"Loadshedding started in 2007 We are going into our 14th year of ANC incompetence. Our corrupt regime is not taking responsibility to fix our energy crisis. Since Thabo Mbeki said the government took collective responsibility - they did NOTHING! Instead, they stole!"

"Eskom Alert Warning sign. Eskom is asking all United supporters to please turn off your TV and stop wasting electricity."

Stage 2 load shedding had been implemented and will come into effect on Monday.

eNCA reported that Johannesburg Mayor Mpho Moerane flat out rejected the schedule of rolling blackouts.

Moerane pointed out that the privately-owned Kelvin power station provides the city with an additional 220MW and therefore is exempt from stages 1 and 2 of load shedding according to News24.

Cape Town also has a power station that severs the city, the Steenbras pumped storage scheme which allows the city to keep the lights on longer, effectively staying one stage lower than the rest of the country.
