Updated | By Noxolo Miya
Load shedding has made a return after a break over the long Easter weekend.
Eskom says stage 3 of the power cuts will continue until 4pm.
They'll be ramped up to stage 5 for 13 hours.
The utility's Daphne Mokwena explains that some generating units were taken offline for repairs.

"Over the past 24 hours, a generation unit was returned to service at Lethabo and Matimba power stations.
"In the same period, two generating units at Kriel Power Station and a generating unit at Kendal Power Station were taken offline for repairs. The delays in returning a unit to service at Camden, Lethabo, Kriel, Medupi and Tutuka power stations have contributed to the capacity constraints."
