Is stage 10 loadshedding going to happen?
eThekwini's Electricity Unit says it has been discussing the status of Durban's loadshedding schedule with Eskom.
If you remember, the metro was excluded from stages one to three of the power cuts when it suffered major infrastructure damage in the April 2022 floods.

The municipality are aware of the speculation that Eskom will be reintroducing the full loadshedding schedule for Durban residents in June.
According to the ECR News Watch report, the municipality has indeed confirmed that it will revert back to imposing normal stages of loadshedding from 25 May.
Darren Maule and Sky Tshabalala had to investigate the matter further by calling Maxwell Mthembu, who is the Head of the Electricity Unit of eThekwini Municipality.
The city is still battling with the damage from the floods and those substations can't be switched off.
A newly revised loadshedding schedule is being finalised and will be sent out soon.
