The rolling blackouts are likely to last throughout the week.
Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantsantsha says the utility is experiencing breakdown of generation units at various of its power stations.
“Due to further 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, Eskom regrets to inform the public that Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented starting at 16:00 this afternoon until 05:00 tomorrow morning.
