Unless there is an emergency or urgent maintenance, the South African power utility Eskom has no right to swich off electricity or introduce unscheduled loadshedding.
On Wednesday 09 June at 18:04 Eskom switched off electricity at some parts of Bohlokong without any proper communication with the community. As we are currently on stage 4 of Loadshedding, the electricity was scheduled to be off from 22:00 till 00:30 but the community Bethlehem community was surprised by a loadshedding four hours prior the scheduled loadshedding.
The community of Bethlehem have been complaining about improper communication of Eskom Bethlehem especially when there is maintenance in Bethlehem.
Please comment with your location in Bethlehem and whether you have electricity or not.
