Stage 2 load-shedding will then take place until 16:00 on Monday, followed by alternating Stage 3 and Stage 1 power cuts in the evenings and day times respectively.

Eskom said that the return of load-shedding is due to a shortage of generation capacity – with unplanned outages currently at 17,270MW.

Approximately 5,300MW of generating capacity is expected to return to service over the course of the next week.
