Eskom announce stage 2 load shedding indefinitely
Power utility Eskom says that stage 2 load shedding will be implemented indefinitely following a brief suspension earlier this morning.
Eskom said that, due to the anticipated low electricity demand, load shedding will be suspended from midnight until 05:00 on Tuesday.
Thereafter, Stage 2 load shedding will resume until further notice. Eskom will communicate should any significant changes occur.
