Stage 5 load shedding will be implemented until further notice after the failure of five generating units, including three from Medupi, Eskom said on Saturday. This follows an announcement on Friday that there would be a respite from higher stages over the weekend.
Load shedding will be reduced to Stage 3 and 4 over the weekend due to a slowdown in demand, Eskom said on Friday afternoon. He resigned from Eskom in 2012 pending a disciplinary process and the outcome of a forensic investigation. A case of fraud was opened at the SA Police Service, to which Masina pleaded guilty.More Stage 6 as breakdowns approach 19 000 MW
