Eskom has announced<\/strong><\/a> that it will reduce load-shedding to Stage 5 at 05:00 on Monday.<\/p>\n

Load-shedding will then drop another level to Stage 4 from 05:00 on Tuesday, and will remain at this level for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n

Eskom said it will publish another update as soon as there are any significant changes.<\/p>\n

Eskom implemented Stage 6<\/strong><\/a> load-shedding for the weekend period, citing the failure of eight generation units overnight on Friday as the reason for this.<\/p>\n

This comprised one unit at each of Duvha, Grootvlei, Tutuka, Kriel, Lethabo, and Camden power stations, as well as two units at Kendal Power Station.<\/p>\n

It is unclear how many, if any, of these generation units have returned to operation.<\/p>\n

Army deployment<\/h3>\n

This news follows confirmation that the army will be deployed<\/strong><\/a> to four different power stations to protect against sabotage and criminality.<\/p>\n

\u201cEskom can confirm that the SANDF is being deployed. Eskom has received deployments at four sites,\u201d said Eskom in a statement.<\/p>\n

Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya told eNCA that this is also an important step towards protecting employees at Eskom power stations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have power station managers wearing bulletproof vests at work. Their children are being escorted by security. Their wives are being escorted by security to where they work,\u201d said Magwenya.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an unhealthy situation, and those are dedicated South Africans committed to helping us come out of this energy crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
