Town Tools builds free, public tools for Stellenbosch and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Is it just your house, or the whole street? When the power goes, tap your area here so neighbours can see — and report the fault to the municipality, which is what actually gets it fixed.
Load shedding (beurtkrag) has been suspended nationally for over a year as of mid-2026, so most cuts now are local faults or storm damage. If load shedding returns, Stellenbosch is split across Eskom blocks 2, 8 and 16 — which block applies to which suburb has confused residents before, so check the municipality's republished schedule rather than guessing.
No power cuts reported right now.
