Selato said the corporation intends to distribute the schedule or the Customer Information Guides by next week covering all public places such as the corporations' customer service centres, kgotla, post offices, police stations, health facilities, stadia and others. Until then, the schedule has mainly been available through the internet to the frustration of those not connected.

The new measures come in the wake of frequent power outages that have become worse since May 9. However, the situation is not expected to ease up at least until the end of June.
