Eskom deliberately unplugs power to Soweto, the Vaal

At 9 am, residents are likely to expect an end to the so called “load reduction”

Thousands of people living in Soweto and the Vaal have had their power supply put on hold deliberately by Eskom on Tuesday morning.

At around 5 am, the power utility removed the plug and said it was working to prevent network overloading in high density areas in Gauteng.

At 9 am, residents are likely to expect an end to the so called “load reduction.”

Eskom also told the people to report issues of meter bypasses, illegal connections and infrastructure vandalism in their communities.
