Stage 2 load shedding begins at 4pm
Stage 2 load shedding will kick in from 4pm until 10pm, and again from 9am to 10pm on Wednesday.
Severe constraints in the power generation system means Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented on Tuesday, The Citizen reports.
Eskom confirmed that Stage 2 load shedding will kick in from 4pm until 10pm, and again from 9am to 10pm on Wednesday.
Six generators were returned to service at Medupi, Tutuka, Kendal, Majuba and Grootvlei power stations, but overnight and early morning breakdowns of four units at Medupi, Duvha, Majuba and Lethabo power stations, and a delay in the return of a unit at Medupi, has severely constrained the system, the power utility explained.
Load shedding can be implemented and escalated at short notice, Eskom warned.
South Africans are urged to use heating devices and appliances sparingly.
