Eskom is calling on all South Africans to please use electricity wisely. This comes at a time when the power utility is even under greater pressure to keep the lights on as more households use electricity during winter.
The power utility has announced the suspension of rolling blackouts until 4pm Tuesday afternoon. Stage 4 power cuts will thereafter be implemented.

This will assist in alleviating the pressure on the system as well as ensuring that we do not experience higher stages of load shedding.”
