Load shedding is expected to resume on Monday with Eskom having implemented stage 1 power cuts from 5am until 4pm.

Thereafter stage 2 will be implemented daily from 4pm on Tuesday throughout the night until 5am for the rest of the week.

"Eskom will publish a further update as soon as there are any significant changes,” says the utility’s Sikonathi Mantshantsha.

“The continued implementation of loadshedding is mainly due to the high levels of breakdowns and the limited emergency generation reserves.

“We currently have 5 032MW on planned maintenance, while another 16 390MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.”
