Eskom has warned that South Africans can expect varying stages of power cuts until midnight on Sunday.
Stage 3 power cuts are currently underway and will be implemented until 4 PM today.
It will then increase to stage 4 until 5 AM on Friday.
Customers can then expect power cuts to be lowered to stage 2 until 4 PM, while it’s anticipated that stages 1 and 2 will be implemented over the course of the weekend.
The power utility’s Sikonathi Mantshantsha: “The emergency generation reserves are almost depleted, both the diesel and the pumped storage dam levels. These, together with the persistent high levels of breakdowns of generating units, are amongst the major contributors to the continuing generation capacity shortages.”
