Eskom implements Stage 2 load shedding today until Saturday
Eskom is set to implement Stage 2 load shedding from 9am this morning until 6am on Saturday.
The power utility says it lost three additional units overnight, which has increased the shortage of capacity.
In a statement released this morning, Eskom says there is also a high probability of power cuts continuing through the weekend, as there is a need to replenish reserves for the coming week.

"While we regret the short notice, we have communicated earlier that any shift on the system will require the implementation of load shedding at short notice."
