The blackouts are expected to last until 11pm. 

Eskom's Andrew Etzinger says it's due to a lack of sufficient generating capacity due to an electrical fault at one of the units in Mpumalanga.


"This follows a trip at the Kusile power station on Thursday morning. A lot of our plants are experiencing breakdowns at the moment."


The load-shedding schedules can be found on Eskom's website as well as those of the various municipalities.
