Eskom has announced Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 10:00 this morning until midnight tonight.

From Thursday until Sunday, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 05:00 until midnight.

This is due to the breakdown of four generation units this morning contributing to the capacity constraints.

There is a likelihood that the stage of loadshedding might need to be increased during the evening peaks.
