Eskom is expected to brief the media on Sunday morning amid Stage 6 rolling blackouts across South Africa.

The power utility implemented Stage 6 on Sunday.

“Following the tripping of a generation unit each at Kusile and Kriel power stations, Stage 6 loadshedding was implemented effective 04:16. Eskom appeals to the public to help conserve electricity,” says Eskom in a statement early on Sunday morning.On Saturday, five generating units at Kusile, Arnot and Camden, as well as two units at Duvha Power Station, broke down.

The power utility has warned that should any further breakdowns occur, higher stages may be implemented at short notice.Energy Expert, Chris Yalland says if Eskom is not able to fix the power crisis, the situation could get worse. “If we take a week or more to restart the network , to get things up and running again, first of all your cellphone will run flat and the towers have battries in them and they will run flat.Telecommunication stops. Banks, the ATMs will not function , the batteries would run flat, we wont be able to draw money. Pertrol will run out because petrol pumps will not be working,” says Yalland.
