Stage 2 load shedding likely to continue until Friday, says Eskom
The power utility has warned that the lights will again start going off from 9am until 10pm today.
Eskom update
Stage 2 load shedding will be in effect again for today, with Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe making it clear that the situation is only likely to improve from Friday.
A number of power generating units remain out of service.
UPDATE: Loadshedding has been terminated for today. I'm afraid tomorrow will see the implementation of stage 2 from 09:00 until 10pm again. The prognosis from the System Operator is that the power system will remain constrained for most of this week, with some relief from Friday. https://t.co/cjyjUct7Y2
