Eskom suspends load shedding for Wednesday
Eskom has announced that it has suspended the planned power cuts for Wednesday afternoon and evening.
The power utility was supposed to implement stage 1 load shedding between 4 pm and 10 pm.
Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha says the suspension of the rolling blackouts is due to the improved performance of its generation units.
"We are working on a full update for the rest of the week and indeed for tomorrow which will be released later.
"There will be no load shedding this evening, we have sufficient generation capacity.”
