Unfortunately, it looks like we are back to load shedding...

You can download the loadshedding schedule here:

There's also a free app available for both Android and iOS which you might try:

Good luck!

Eskom Announces Stage 2 Load Shedding - Expect No Power on The Island from 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Tonight - Aug 4th

4/8/2015

Eskom has announced they will implement Stage 2 load shedding today, from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. this evening.  Based on the new load shedding schedule for the Greater Mossel Bay area (which went into effect on July 1st), this means if you're on The Island, you can expect to be without power from 8:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. tonight.

Have an Android phone or tablet?  Download News24’s GridWatch app and receive load shedding notifications for locations you choose (Groot Brak, George, etc. - and yes, George is on a different schedule...) direct to your device as they are announced.

Good news for Apple users, too - the iOS version of the GridWatch app has been released and is available for download (free) from iTunes. 

Not to be outdone, albeit, rather late to the game, Eskom has just launched their own MyEskom apps which also provide load shedding schedules and information.  You can download the Android version from the Google Play store or the iOS version from iTunes.  I've not used either of the Eskom apps - but the GridWatch apps, above, work like a charm.

Eskom has just announced it will implement Stage 2 load shedding today, beginning at 8:00 p.m. and running until 10:00 p.m. this evening.  Based on the current load shedding schedule for the Greater Mossel Bay area, this means if you're on The Island, you can expect to be without power from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. tonight.

There is a new load shedding schedule which will be effective from July 1, 2015, which I will post separately (no need to create confusion before then - the existing schedule noted above remains in effect until then...).

Have an Android phone or tablet?  Download News24’s GridWatch app and receive load shedding notifications for locations you choose (Groot Brak, George, etc. - and yes, George is on a different schedule...) direct to your device as they are announced.
