Power utility Eskom has announced it will suspend daytime load shedding for the week ahead before implementing stage 2 in the evenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Due to the return of some generating units to service since Friday and the sufficient emergency reserves, load shedding will remain suspended until 16:00 on Monday,” it said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Thereafter, Stage 2 load shedding will resume from 16h00 until 05h00 on Tuesday, when load shedding will be suspended again from 05h00 until 16h00,” it added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
