The utility says this is a result of a shortage of generation capacity and the depletion of emergency resources.
Eskom says it will also be taking out three big units for planned maintenance today.
"We are monitoring the system closely, and we will continue to give periodic updates on the status of the power system as things may change at short notice."
"We want to assure the nation that critical maintenance is being done to units on planned outages as well as some of those on unplanned outages to ensure their timeous return to service."
"We will use the weekend to replenish dam levels for pumped storage schemes and diesel for open cycle gas turbines."
