Eskom will implement stage 2 load shedding from 16:00 to 21:00 on Thursday night due to generation issues, combined with the severe cold weather, the power utility announced.
"Unfortunately, a generation unit each at Tutuka and Medupi power stations were forced offline [on Thursday] afternoon, increasing the capacity constraints on the power system," Eskom said.
"Further, a unit each at Medupi and Tutuka, that were expected to return to service this afternoon, have now been delayed, further contributing to the shortages."
