Eskom has increased its planned day-time load-shedding for Saturday, 6 May 2023.<\/p>\n

“Due to the further breakdown of generating units in the early hours of the morning, stage 4 load-shedding will be implemented at 05:00 this morning until 16:00,” Eskom said.<\/p>\n

The abrupt change was announced<\/strong><\/a> just before 03:00 AM on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The utility had originally planned to rotate between stage 3 day-time load-shedding and stage 4 evening load-shedding on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the breakdowns would also result in increased load-shedding after 16:00, or if the planned stage 4 load-shedding will remain as is.<\/p>\n

Eskom said it would publish a further update as soon as there were any significant changes.<\/p>\n

Should the rest of the planned schedule for the coming days remain as previously communicated, the table below shows the stages of load-shedding that will be implemented.<\/p>\n
