"There is a high probability that we will need to go into loadshedding over the weekend. We are hoping that this will be limited to Stage One," she said.

"It is due to our power plants still having an issue around not operating optimally."

Stage Two loadshedding is currently active across the country after several generating plants incurred unexpected power outages last night and this morning.

A coal shortage and low water levels at water pump storage facilities have also had an impact on the supply to the national power grid.

Eskom is urging communities to refer to their loadshedding schedules so they know when the lights will go out.
