Stage 6 will last “until further notice”, the power utility said.


"This is due to a high number of breakdowns since midnight, as well as the requirement to strictly preserve the remaining emergency generation reserves," says the power utility's spokesperson, Sikonathi Mantshansha. 


This is a developing story.
