Eskom announced that Stage 2 load-shedding will continue on Wednesday from 9 am to 10 pm.
Eskom said the breakdown of four units overnight and on Tuesday morning at Medupi, Duvha, Majuba and Lethabo power stations, as well as a delay in the expected return to service of a unit at Medupi, has resulted in the power system being constrained.
Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said the company could not realistically promise an end to load-shedding this week and said it is possible that power cuts will continue next week as well.
