Load shedding
On Friday, Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said stage 1 load shedding would continue to be implemented daily at 5am until 4pm until Sunday.
“Stage 2 load shedding will also continue to be implemented on a daily basis at 4pm to 5am until Monday.”
Mantshantsha said the continuous implementation of load shedding by Eskom was mainly due to the need to preserve emergency generation reserves owing to a high level of breakdowns and the delay in returning some generating units to service.
