Eskom has announced that it will implement stage 2 load shedding from 5pm on Sunday until 10pm on Tuesday.
The power utility says the power cuts are due to a loss of ten generating units at seven power stations during the past 24 hours.
“Failure of three generation units at Tutuka was due to loss of air compressors, a unit at Majuba was forced shutdown while another unit tripped. A generation unit at Kriel was taken down for a boiler tube leak. A unit was forced down due to a steam leak at a unit at Matla power station, while trips at a unit each at Medupi, Kusile and the Duvha power stations are being investigated.”
Eskom has urged the public to reducing electricity consumption while its teams try and restore as many of these units to service.
