Eskom announces Stage 2 load shedding

Eskom will be implementing Stage 2 load shedding, from 12:00 to 22:00 on Friday (today). In a statement released late on Friday morning, said this is as a result of an increase in generational breakdowns.

Earlier on Friday Eskom had warned of the possibility of power cuts, as “the power system is severely constrained.”

“Five generation units were taken off the grid, significantly raising the possible need for loadshedding.” It initially saw only six hours of power cuts.
