Eskom pushes load shedding to stage 4, eThekwini remains exempt
Load shedding has been ramped up to stage 4, Eskom confirmed on Tuesday morning.
The utility says it was forced to escalate the power cuts schedule from stage 2 after units tripped at its Majuba and Tutuka power stations in Mpumalanga.
"Regretfully, Eskom has just been forced to implement stage 4 load shedding at 07:20," says spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha.
