Eskom has announced that South Africans will face a full day of Stage 4 load shedding on Monday as it battles a shortage of capacity.
The power utility implemented Stage 4 load shedding on Sunday. It said rotational power cuts would continue throughout the night at Stage 2 level until 09:00 on Monday, when Stage 4 will again be implemented. Power cuts during the nights have thus far been rare.
In an alert on Sunday evening the utility said the power rationing is “no cause for alarm as the system is being effectively controlled”. “The loss of the the supply from Cahora Bassa has contributed to the implementation of Stage 4 load shedding, which is the level at which the power utility tries to pre-empt a national blackout,” said Ramaphosa.
