Eskom announced a move to stage 4 load-shedding on Tuesday morning.
The power utility implemented stage 2 load-shedding the whole of last week after some generation units failed to return to service. These include units at the Matla, Tutuka, Duvha, and Arnot Power Stations.
The struggling power utility now says stage 4 was necessary after Majuba Unit 5 and Tutuka Unit 4 also tripped.
The last bout of load-shedding comes amid warnings that South Africans should prepare themselves for a dark and difficult winter.
The power utility is expected to brief the media at 10am on Tuesday.
