Eskom has told Lesotho and Swaziland to lower electricity consumption to avoid load shedding in South Africa.

The power utility is attempting to help its regional neighbours offset crippling power shortages.

Eskom has come to the rescue of Zimbabwe and Zambia, agreeing to supply both countries with 300 megawatt of energy during off-peak times.

Eskom also has non-firm power supply agreements with Namibia and Botswana. Eskom has notched up about five months without power supply disruptions.
