Eskom says it will ramp up load shedding from stage 2 to stage 3 from 4pm on Wednesday afternoon.
Stage 3 load shedding
According to the embattled power utility, the rolling blackouts were increased to stage 3 due to the breakdown of two generating units and the delay in returning to service of three generating units from planned maintenance.
Eskom said stage 3 power cuts will be implemented until further notice.
The parastatal said it will issue another update as soon as it becomes necessary.
