South Africans will have to brave Stage 6 load shedding until 5 am on Saturday.
So said Eskom in a statement issued on Friday afternoon.
Thereafter, said the utility, Stage 3 load shedding would take effect from 5 am until 4 pm on Saturday.
And Stage 4 load shedding would be implemented from 4 pm on Saturday until 5 am on Sunday.
“This cycle will be repeated on Sunday until 05:00 on Monday morning. These load-shedding stages may change at short notice.
“Eskom will publish a further update as soon as any significant changes occur,” said Eskom.
“The delays in returning a unit to service at Kriel and two units at Tutuka Power Stations have contributed to the capacity constraints.”
