However, Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshanthsa warns that the possibility of load shedding remains.
"Over the weekend the system held up very well, we did not have to implement load shedding on Sunday.
"However, we would like to remind the people of South Africa that the system does remain vulnerable and indeed unpredictable, thus we may have to implement loadshedding at short notice."
He adds that critical maintenance of ageing plants will ensure South Africans experience load shedding over the next 18 months.
