In a statement, Eskom said load shedding will be suspended from 5:00 until 16:00 on Monday, 19 February. Stage 2 rolling black outs will be implemented from 16:00 until 5:00 on Tuesday, 20 February.

TIPS TO MITIGATE AGAINST RISKS CAUSED BY ROLLING BLACKOUTS/POWER OUTAGES:
- Make use of surge protection: Electric surges are one of the biggest causes of damage to equipment during a power outage. Installing a surge protection device can help minimise some damage in unforeseen situations. Have a surge protection device fitted to your electrical distribution board or at the power outlet to the electronic device.
- Ensure that your alarm system is working and the backup battery is fully functional to provide power to the system in the event of load shedding.
- Spare torch or headlamp: Keep a torch in your car if you arrive home at night during a power outage. Most smartphones have built-in torch or torch apps, which come in handy during unexpected outages.
