Cape Town - The City of Cape Town customers will have to wait a while longer before finding out if they will be shielded from one stage of load shedding after Eskom announced Stage 2 load shedding on Tuesday.
The struggling power utility announced that load shedding will be implemented from 4pm on Tuesday until 5am on Wednesday, with a possibility of load shedding throughout the week.
The company said in a statement that the load shedding follows after breakdowns of generating units at Kriel, Arnot, Majuba and Tutuka Power Stations over the past 24 hours, as well as delays in returning units to service at Duvha and Tutuka Power Stations.
