Despite Eskom making significant progress in boosting the national grid s generation capacity, stage three load shedding has kicked in on Tuesday afternoon.
Residents can expect four-hour bouts of the rolling power cuts to return during higher stages of load shedding, following complaints about prolonged outages after the utility took over its implementation from Eskom.
Eskom announced that load shedding would continue to be suspended for an additional week, which would mark the longest reprieve from rolling power cuts since October.
