Eskom downgrades load-shedding to stage 4
Further reprieve for South Africans as power cuts lowered another stage.
After experiencing continuous stage 6 power cuts for a whole week, Eskom has in the last few hours twice downgraded the stage of load-shedding.
The power utility initially announced that stage 5 load-shedding will be implemented at 05:00 and continue ‘until further notice’.
However, in some reprieve for citizens, Eskom has since announced that from 09:00, power cuts have been downgraded to stage 4.
Stage 5 loadshedding will be implemented from 05:00 on Sunday morning – until further notice. Eskom will publish a full statement in due course.
