Eskom announced Stage 2 load-shedding will continue until Wednesday.

"It really is expected, Eskom has been giving the message, loud and clear, they'll be load-shedding for at least the next two years.

"Last year we were saved by COVID-19 as the demand for electricity reduced quite considerably at first and then overall through the year by about 5 percent," he said.

"This year, as the economy picks up, we don't have that saving grace. If you look at Eskom's website with predictions, it is Code Red for the next six weeks."
