Stage 3 load shedding will come into effect from 5am on Saturday until 4pm.


Thereafter stage 4 load shedding will kick in from 16:00 until 05:00 on Sunday.


Spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says the reduction in the stages of load shedding over the weekend is due to more capacity on the grid.


"Over the past 48 hours, a generating unit each at Camden and Kendal power stations was taken offline for repairs. In the same period, a generating unit each at Arnot, Kendal, Matla and Tutuka power stations was returned to service.”
