Eskom implements load-reduction in parts of Katlehong and Vosloorus

Eskom implemented load-reduction in various Katlehong and Vosloorus communities in Ekurhuleni until 10 pm on Friday evening.

The power utility said the planned power cuts were used to target areas with rampant illegal connections that could overload the grid.

Affected communities included Thokoza, Mabuya Park, and Vosloorus extensions 1 to 37.

The utility has been criticized for appearing to target townships when rolling out load reduction, but Eskom denied this.
