Wednesday, 14 May 2025: Eskom confirms that Stage 2 loadshedding will continue during the evening peak hours only, from 16:00 to 22:00, today and on Thursday, 15 May 2025, as previously announced. This measure remains necessary to manage generation capacity while ensuring a stable electricity supply during periods of high demand on working days.
We recognise the inconvenience this causes and remain committed to ensuring a reliable electricity supply.
While there has been a slight improvement in unplanned outages since yesterday, the power system remains constrained. Our teams continue working with determination and professionalism to enhance grid stability, supported by ongoing structural improvements across the generation fleet. Notably, loadshedding incidents have declined compared to previous years.
Eskom will continue to monitor the power system and provide updates should any changes arise.

Power tripped in the Randpark Ridge and Boskruin area at 11h14 with no warning. Any explanation as to why? No planned maintenance or loadshedding scheduled.
@THEDEVCHEV@CityPowerJhb@EskomSePush Thanks for all your hard work. Do you perhaps know if there is a map of where the 'real' blocks are supposed to be?
⚡🗓️ LOAD SHEDDING SCHEDULE UPDATE
25 April 2025 Time 12h10 - Cllr Devon Steenkamp
Dear Community,
I’m receiving several queries about certain suburbs being omitted from @CityPowerJhb latest load shedding schedule update on the @EskomSePush app. I am engaging with both City Power and the ESP developers to ensure these areas are correctly listed and updated.
The affected areas currently not showing or missing in certain blocks include:
Bellairspark
Boskruin
Kevin Ridge
Inadan
Randpark Ridge
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
@THEDEVCHEV Can't these people fix something the first time correctly. The probability of this being the same 4-day problem a week ago is high. Every time it rains expect an outage.

City Power is still actively working on
1️⃣Northriding Substation, addressing issues across various distributors to restore power to affected areas.
Operators still need to attend to faults at
2️⃣Houtkoppen – Inadan Distributor (affecting parts of Kya Sand and Northriding AH)
3️⃣Beyers Naudé Substation – Gayfield Distributor (affecting parts of Boskruin and Randpark Ridge) once work at Northriding Substation is completed.
@CityPowerJhb This is a new thing now that Randpark Ridge is affected by Northriding substation, or is it only affected by this because Beyers Substation which we get power from will only be attended to after Northriding is fixed
#CityPowerUpdates#RandburgSDC
Northriding Substation (Taurus Distributor): Off due to a cable fault. Repairs will be handed over to the morning shift.
This is affecting customers in Randpark, Randpark ridge, Boskruin, and other surroundings.
Affected customers will be kept informed of developments throughout.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused. ^IM
@CityPowerJhb Come on!! One hour of power in the last 30 hours!! This is beyond incompetent! And WHY is the Beyers Naude substation ALWAYS the last on the list to be fixed?? Pathetic!
@CityPowerJhb What rain?? Are the workmen going to melt if they just go to check what the problem is?? Just another excuse to sit on your backsides & get paid for doing nothing! CP is apparently good for nothing except taking money for zero services!
#CityPowerUpdates#RandburgSDC
