Eskom: High risk of load-shedding
Eskom says there are increased chances of Stage 1 load-shedding being put into effect from 5pm to 10pm on Thursday.
The embattled power utility adds that the rolling blackouts will only be implemented if absolutely necessary.
In a statement, Eskom says there is once again a shortage of generational capacity at its power stations.
The country was plagued with a series of power cuts just last month - with the power utility implementing Stage 4 load-shedding.
Briefing media at the Lethabo power station earlier this month - Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan said there would be no load-shedding at least until the end of August, but should the need arise - it will happen at Stage 1.
