As of September 7, 2025, there is no loadshedding scheduled for Dobsonville, Soweto, including Dobsonville Ext 3, according to the latest updates for Block 13 (Dobsonville Gardens) and Block 15 (Dobsonville)[6][7]. The Eskom power system remains stable, and scheduled loadshedding is currently suspended.
Recent national reports confirm that South Africa has experienced more than 105 consecutive days without loadshedding, with the power grid maintaining generation capacity well above expected demand[3]. Local tracking resources similarly indicate that no planned loadshedding interruptions are expected at this time; any current outages are more likely due to technical faults or unplanned incidents and not part of the national loadshedding program[6][7].
However, Eskom may implement load reduction in certain neighborhoods experiencing high transformer load due to illegal connections or electricity theft, typically between 05:00–09:00 and 17:00–22:00[4]. This is distinct from loadshedding and may affect Soweto suburbs without prior national schedule announcements.
For future reference, municipal loadshedding and load reduction schedules are subject to change. Residents are encouraged to monitor the Eskom and City of Johannesburg channels regularly for the latest area-specific updates[5].
