Eskom was forced to intensify load-shedding from stage one to stage four yesterday afternoon due to breakdowns and delays in returning units online. Stage 4 load-shedding is currently being implemented until 16:00 this afternoon where after it will jump to stage 5 until 05:00 tomorrow morning.

This pattern will be repeated until further notice.
