Power utility Eskom has announced that Stage 5 loadshedding will be implemented from 14:00 on Monday.
This was "due to further delays in returning generating units to service", as well as "the further failure of 5 generating units" on Monday.
Stage 5 loadshedding will be implemented from 14:00 on Monday until 05:00 on Tuesday. Thereafter, Stage 4 loadshedding will be implemented until further notice.
Eskom said it would publish another update should any significant changes occur.
