Eskom to restrict power supply in Gauteng

Eskom will be implementing electricity supply restrictions in some residential areas in Gauteng.

The utility says this is to safeguard its assets.

It says there is a high demand for electricity during peak hours in the morning and evening.

Restrictions will be done on a rotational basis.

Eskom previously said there would be no load-shedding during the lockdown.

However, the utility warns that an increase in meter tampering and illegal connections could be causing the surge in usage.
