Power utility Eskom implemented Stage 2 loadshedding from 18:25 on March 19, stating that it would remain in effect until 05:00 on March 20.
This followed the loss of five generation units before the evening peak period.
"We continue to prioritise planned maintenance to strengthen system reliability ahead of the winter months, while ensuring adherence to environmental and licensing conditions.
"In light of the ongoing system constraints, we urge the public to use electricity sparingly. Eskom sincerely apologises for the inconvenience caused and will continue to provide updates as required," it said in a post on X.
