Original article:

There is a high probability of stage load shedding from 9am to 10pm on Friday.

Eskom said it would only be implemented if absolutely necessary.

According to the power entity additional units were lost overnight.

Stage 2 calls for 2 000 MW to be rotationally shed nationally at any given period. Load shedding is conducted as a last resort to protect the power system from a total collapse or blackout.

Should load shedding be implemented on Friday, here are the times and suburbs for Tembisa and Olifantsfontein.
