Eskom updates load-shedding schedule – Stage 4 for the rest of the weekend

Eskom has announced that it is increasing load-shedding to Stage 4 from 20:00 on Saturday until 05:00 on Monday.

Previously, it had announced that South Africa would alternate between Stage 3 and no power cuts throughout this period.

“Eskom will continue to monitor the power system closely, adjust and communicate the stages of loadshedding as required,” said Eskom.

The power utility will provide a schedule for the week ahead, on Sunday.
