Calling all South Africans: be sparing with electrical appliances after 4 p.m., think twice about whether you really need to boil so much water for that tea, and don't even think about switching on your air conditioner after dark.
These were among the pleas state power company Eskom's outgoing chief executive made to long-suffering consumers in Africa's most industrialised nation on Sunday, as he reassured them recent maintenance work would ease some of the harshest blackouts in living memory.
Earlier this month households were without electricity for at least six hours a day, sometimes as much as 10 hours, with freezers thawing and businesses forced to crank up diesel generators. "That possibility is receding, which is comforting and positive," De Ruyter told a virtual news conference on Sunday. The current schedule was for lower "stages" of outages that are roughly equal to less than four hours a day.
"We would really urge South Africans to plan consumption such that ... we have reduced demand," he said. "Switch off air conditioners, only boil water that you need - don't fill the kettle up. These small steps will really make a difference."
