This after the power utility Eskom had pushed loadshedding up to Stage 3 until further notice on Thursday last week.


In a short statement on social media X, Eskom says the easing of loadshedding is due to sufficient emergency reserves and a slight increase in available generation capacity, resulting from the return to service of two units.


Loadshedding is to be reduced to Stage 1 from 10am today until 2pm. 


Thereafter, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented from 2pm until further notice. 


It comes while South Africans hope to keep their lights and television sets on from 7pm on Wednesday night when Bafana Bafana play Nigeria in an Afcon semi-final.
