Electricity giant, Eskom, implemented load shedding stage one in the early hours of Friday morning and has since upgraded the stage to stage two.
The reason for moving over to a higher stage is as a result of an increased demand and a shortage of generation capacity according to Eskom’s official twitter account.
#ICYMI: Eskom is currently implementing #load_shedding stage 2 due to increased demand & a shortage of generation capacity.
