Eskom suspends rolling load shedding until Monday morning

Eskom has suspended power cuts until 5 am on Monday morning.

Eskom says the suspension of power outages on Christmas Day is due to the lower demand for electricity.

Stage 2 power cuts will be implemented from Monday morning until 4 pm on Tuesday.

The power utility says Stage 3 will then be implemented thereafter.

The embattled utility is appealing to the public to use electricity sparingly during this period or outages would have to be implemented at short notice.
