There will be no load-shedding from 5am to 4pm this weekend, Eskom announced on Friday.
It said due to the anticipated return to service of additional generating units, stage 2 load-shedding will continue to be implemented until 5am on Saturday.
“Thereafter, load-shedding will be suspended until 4pm. Stage 2 load-shedding will resume from 4pm until 5am Sunday. This alternating pattern of suspending load-shedding from 5am until 4pm and implementing stage 2 load-shedding from 4pm until 5am will be repeated on Sunday.” it said.
