Load shedding pushed to stage 5 amid cold snap
Eskom will push load shedding up another notch on Tuesday amid a cold snap over large parts of the country.
The power utility will implement stage 5 power cuts from 10am until 4pm on Tuesday.
This is one notch up from stage 4, which was originally scheduled to be in place.
Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says this is due to the loss of generation capacity.
“Due to the loss of 4 generation units overnight, stage 5 load shedding will be implemented from 10:00 until 16:00 today. Eskom will publish another update this afternoon.”
