Stage 3 blackouts to continue until Thursday

Stage 3 blackouts will continue until 5am on Thursday. In a statement, Eskom says its generation capacity is still constrained.

The power utility will give an update on Wednesday. In the meantime, it’s encouraging all South Africans to reduce electricity.

On a positive note, the first of seven generating units returned to service on Saturday evening. The remaining units are hoped to return to service over the next eight days.

A generating unit each at Duvha, Kendal, Komati, Kusile, Matimba, Lethabo and Tutuka power stations was taken offline for repairs.
