Stage 3 load-shedding will continue until 5am on Thursday, Eskom said on Sunday.
The power utility said the continued load-shedding was necessary due to its shortage of generation capacity as a result of persistent high levels of breakdowns.
“Following the shutdown of Camden power station due to the demineralised water contamination last week, the first of seven generating units returned to service on Saturday evening. The remaining units are anticipated to return to service over the next eight days, while one will remain on planned maintenance. A generating unit each at Kusile and Majuba power stations were returned to service,” Eskom said.
