SOUTH Africans should prepare for another round of load shedding, with Eskom announcing Stage 2 will be implemented from 4 pm on Tuesday (yesterday) until 10 pm on Thursday, 15 May.
Eskom said in a statement that the decision follows the delayed return of generation units, amounting to 3 120 MW, and an additional loss of 1 385 MW in the past 24 hours due to unplanned breakdowns.
The utility explained the primary reason for this setback is the delay in returning several units from planned maintenance.
