The power utility has announced that load-shedding will increase to stage 3 and will run throughout the weekend after 5 generating units tripped on Friday morning.
Stage 3 rotational power cuts will be implemented from 14:00 today until 05:00 on Monday morning.

Thereafter, Eskom will implement stage 2 load-shedding continuously in the week ahead.
“The additional load-shedding tonight is required to manage and recover the emergency generation reserves which have been utilised extensively over the past five days,” Eskom said.
Eskom therefore urges all South Africans to continue using electricity sparingly.
