Eskom said a setback has led to rolling blackouts being implemented, but did not state what the cause was.
Eskom has put a damper on South Africans’ weekend by announcing that load shedding will be returning.
Stage 3 load shedding
The power utility said stage 3 load shedding will be implemented from 5:30pm on Saturday.
“Following over 20 days of uninterrupted electricity supply, Eskom has encountered another temporary setback,” it said.
“As a result, Stage 3 load shedding will be implemented from today at 5:30pm until further notice.”
Eskom did not say how long the load shedding will be in place, but did state it will give an update on Sunday.
