Eskom to implement Stage 4 load shedding on the weekend

It looks like we can’t get rid of those candles just yet, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t light at the end of the tunnel.

Eskom has scrapped Stage 6 power cuts for Friday night.

Instead, the utility will continue Stage 4 blackouts until 10pm.

The embattled power utility says due to lower than anticipated demand, blackouts will be lowered to Stage 2 until 7am on Saturday morning.

Then Stage 4 will be implemented from 7am until 10pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Eskom has thanked employees who have reported for duty following a wildcat strike.

The power utility is urging South Africans to use electricity sparingly.
