The latest bout of rolling blackouts come hot on the heels of an almost week-long power cuts which were implemented by the power utility last week.
Last week Eskom began the power cuts on Tuesday, citing a loss of generation capacity.
Load shedding was later suspended on Saturday following a recovery in generating capacity.
