According to available information for August 2025, there is currently no scheduled loadshedding for Dobsonville, including Dobsonville Ext 3, in the City of Johannesburg. This reflects the current Eskom announcement and real-time status, which may change if national grid conditions worsen or loadshedding stages are implemented[5].

For block and suburb-specific confirmation, Eskom recommends using their official loadshedding schedule tools—where you select your area, stage, and date to view updated schedules. Local information updates can be found on platforms such as OurPower or Eskom’s official site[3][5].
Schedule times and implementation are subject to change based on Eskom’s daily announcements. Always verify current status on the official Eskom portal or local updates for the most accurate and timely information[4].
