Eskom to reduce load shedding to ‘Stage 5’

Eskom said on Sunday it will decrease rotational power cuts to “Stage 5” from “Stage 6” on Monday morning at 05.30 a.m

The “Stage 5” power cuts require up to 5 000 megawatts to be shed from the national grid and mean at least eight hours a day without power for most South Africans.

Eskom added that thereafter “Stage 4” power cuts will be implemented from Tuesday morning for the remainder of the week.
