EskomSePush has seen a big decline in its active user base since the break from load-shedding began in March.

Load-shedding app Eskom SePush has seen its active user base plummet from more than 3.2 million to 300,000 since the current load-shedding break started., Eskom SePush co-founder Dan Southwood-Wells said his team is using the platform to cover outages not related to load-shedding, including general power and water outages.

Southwood-Wells said EskomSePush will vet the information and make sure it’s trusted before pushing it to South Africans so that they can plan around any outages.“We are still known as a load-shedding app. However, in the bigger metros like Cape Town, Johannesburg, and eThekwini, we’re using a lot of municipal data to give that information out,” said Southwood-Wells. “We’ve gone from an active user base of 3.2 million to about 300,000.

However, it should be noted that 2023 was South Africa’s worst year of load-shedding to date, and EskomSePush was commonly used by South Africans to plan their days and weeks.Through the years, the EskomSePush team has added several helpful features, including its load-shedding timelines, calendar integration, home screen and lock screen widgets, expanded area coverage, area recommendations, and AskMyStreet.

British media caught onto an on-field complaint by Curry that was picked up by the referee’s microphone.
