The reason for the move is due to the power utility losing six additional generating units which have put additional strain on the system.
Stage 4 loadshedding requires 4 000MW to be rotationally shed, nationally.
“We continue to appeal to residents and businesses to use electricity sparingly during this period,” Eskom concluded.
