Eskom has declared an electricity supply emergency, urging customers to severely curtail usage from Tuesday onwards.

"The power system is severely constrained today due to the loss of additional generating units from our power station fleet and the extensive use of emergency reserves," Eskom said in a statement on Tuesday.

"This has necessitated the need for Eskom to declare an emergency in terms of the approved regulatory protocols."

Eskom was now following the protocols in terms of its emergency procedures in order to secure the power system.

Oh no, not this again. Luckily I'll have a 4Mbps line o use when the power is off! Oh, wait, there will be no power.
