Eskom says rolling blackouts will continue until Thursday
Stage 2 load shedding will continue on Wednesday and Thursday from 4pm to midnight.
Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha says they are still short on generation capacity due to unit breakdowns.
"The breakdowns of a generation unit each at Duvha, Kendal and Kriel power stations during the last 24 hours, as well as the delays in returning units to service at Arnot, Kusile and Tutuka power stations, have put a severe strain on the power generation system.'"

"During the same period, Eskom teams have returned a unit each at Arnot and Tutuka power stations to service.
"While a generation unit each at Kriel, Majuba and Tutuka power stations are expected to return to service over the next 24 hours, this will still be insufficient to stave off load shedding for Thursday afternoon.”
