This after the utility announced on Friday that load shedding will be reduced to stage 3 and 4 over the weekend.
Eskom interim spokesperson Daphne Mokoena says the decreased levels of load shedding are due improvement in generation capacity.
"Due to a slight improvement in the available generation capacity, stage 4 load shedding will be implemented from 16:00 this afternoon until 05:00 on Monday followed by stage 3 load shedding from 05:00 to 16:00.
