"This is as a result of a shortage of capacity due to the loss of generating units at our power stations," said Eskom in a written statement shared on social media this morning.

"We continue to encourage residents and businesses to use electricity sparingly during this period. Please switch off geysers as well as all non-essential lighting and electricity appliances to assist in reducing demand," the statement continued.
