Stage 2 load shedding extended until Sunday
Eskom says it's extending Stage 2 load shedding until Sunday morning.
The power utility says the loss of units has increased the shortage in generation capacity.
Eskom spokesperson, Sikonathi Mantshantsha says the system remains vulnerable and constrained.
"Implementing this stage of load shedding will help us replenish the reserves - that is the diesel, and the hydro storage facilitates, to better prepare for next week. We urge people to continue using electricity sparingly."
