Stage 1 load-shedding will be implemented until 16:00 on Saturday.
Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 16:00 on Saturday until 05:00 on Sunday when power cuts will be suspended.
On Sunday, stage 1 load-shedding will be implemented from 16:00 until 16:00 on Monday.
According to Eskom breakdowns are currently at 14 489 MW of generating capacity while 6 190 MW of generating capacity is out of service for planned maintenance.
Three generation units were returned to service at Hendrina, Majuba and Tutuka power stations. However, a generating unit each at Arnot, Camden, Kriel and Tutuka power stations was taken offline for repairs. The delays in returning units to service at Duvha and Medupi power stations continue.
The power utility thanks South Africans for continuing to use electricity sparingly to help alleviate the pressure on the power system.
