Eskom to suspend loadshedding from midday
Eskom says loadshedding will be cancelled at midday.
This is because some generation units have returned to service.
We were told on Wednesday to prepare for Stage 2 scheduled power cuts that would last until tomorrow morning.
But, Eskom says it's now able to meet the country's electricity demand.

In a statement the power utility says: "Eskom teams have successfully returned a generation unit each at the Duvha, Medupi, Kendal, Kriel and Kusile Power Stations. A further unit each is expected to return to service today at the Camden and Majuba Power Stations."
"Although we have also lost other units at Tutuka, Camden and Hendrina Power Stations, we have managed to adequately replenish emergency generation reserves."
"Eskom will also be taking the opportunity over the long weekend, due to the lower demand, to conduct short-term maintenance and to further replenish the emergency reserves in preparation for the week ahead."
