Eskom on Sunday announced that load-shedding had resumed but at stage 3 instead of the earlier enforced stage 4.

The power utility said it had suspended load-shedding in the early hours of Sunday — at 12.53am — due to a lower demand overnight and had only resumed load-shedding at 7.45am. 

It said it would  publish further updates as significant changes occurred.

Meanwhile, Sunday Times has reported that experts have predicted a widening gap between supply and demand, with load-shedding possibly increasing to stage 10.
