Eskom pushes load shedding to stage 6
Eskom has announced that stage 6 load shedding will be implemented from midday on Wednesday until further notice.
The embattled power utility had previously announced that loadshedding will be moved from stage 3 to stage 4 from Wednesday morning.
In a short statement released just before midday, the utility's spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha announced that power cuts will be moved to stage 6.
"This is due to a high number of breakdowns since midnight, as well as the requirement to strictly preserve the remaining emergency generation reserves.”
