Eskom to implement stage 2 power cuts until Monday morning

JOHANNESBURG - Load shedding will be ramped up to stage two from Sunday afternoon until Monday morning. 

Eskom said this was due to the power utility having to replenish its emergency reserves for the upcoming week.

The rolling power cuts will then be suspended on Morning morning until 4pm in the afternoon.

Eskom's crisis communications manager, Menzi Mngomezulu: "This pattern of suspending load shedding from 05:00 until 16:00 and stage 2 load shedding from 16:00 until 05:00 will be repeated daily until further notice. Eskom will communicate should any significant changes occur."
