While Eskom has committed to rolling blackouts until Monday, the City of Johannesburg has hit back at the power utility saying it rejects the latest scheduled loadshedding.

Mayor Mpho Moerane described Eskom's planned loadshedding in the city as an unwarranted decision that could not be left unchallenged on behalf of the people of Johannesburg.JOBURG REJECTS ESKOM LATEST SCHEDULED LOADSHEDDING#WeServeJoburg pic.twitter.com/JlgokPtZDw
