Eskom announced on Thursday that load-shedding would remain suspended until 4pm on Sunday.

Eskom first suspended load-shedding at 10pm on Thursday last week, initially for three days. It has been extending the suspension day-by-day since Monday.

In a statement on Thursday, Eskom said the suspension was made possible by sufficient generation capacity, including emergency reserves. 

“Eskom will continue to monitor the power system and publish the week-ahead outlook on Sunday.“
