The embattled state-owned power utility Eskom says stage 2 loadshedding will continue until Monday morning. Read more:

Eskom has depleted its emergency reserves which had been used extensively to supplement the capacity over the past few days.

The power utility claims out-played outages are at about 11 150 megawatts but the company is monitoring the system closely and will continue to give periodic updates on the status of the power system. On Friday Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter warned South Africans that they should expect increased load shedding over the next 18 months as this will be the time it will take for Eskom to complete the maintenance program including to fix its generation infrastructure.“The lack of maintenance has really led to unreliability of the energy availability factor that is just available to be distributed across South Africa.
