Load shedding set to be eased to stage five at midnight

Spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha says that the power utility managed to return a unit each to Camden, Kriel, Kusile and Kendal on Monday morning.

But a unit had to be taken off at the Duvha power station after the development of a boiler tube leak.

"This means we will be able to reduce load shedding to stage 5 at midnight. Further updates will be announced as soon as possible," says Mantshantsha. 

The power utility implemented stage 6 blackouts at 4am on Sunday. 

Eskom attributed the increased load shedding to a trip that occurred at Kusile and Kriel power stations.
