Load-shedding back for eThekwini in coming weeks

Durban residents will experience load-shedding in coming weeks, this after eThekwini Metro’s electricity infrastructure was so heavily compromised during the April floods that the City could not produce enough power to load shed. In a joint statement released on Monday, Eskom and the City of eThekwini said Durban had been exempt from load-shedding after the April floods, which saw around 400mm of rainfall which severely damaged infrastructure.
