Stage 2 load shedding until next week Monday - Eskom
Eskom will implement stage 2 load shedding from 5pm on Tuesday continuing until next week.
The power utility says it currently doesn't have enough generation capacity.
Spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha says nine generation units have broken down.
"Since yesterday, a generation unit each at Lethabo, Tutuka, Ingula, Drakensberg, Arnot as well as two units each at Hendrina and Matla power stations suffered breakdowns."

"Further, delays in returning generators to service at Arnot, Kendal and three units at Tutuka power stations have added to the capacity constraints. Eskom expects to return as many of these units to service as possible over the next few days."
Eskom expects to end the blackouts on Monday at 5am.
