The National power utility Eskom says the Koeberg unit that has been off line since Friday morning will only be back on line next week.Unit 1 at Koeberg was shut down for maintenance and was promised to be in working order by Saturday.

“We are still able to meet electricity demand, which is normally lower during weekends,” says Eskom’s Andrew Etzinger

He added that the system is however still vulnerable, so consumers are urged to continue using electricity sparingly.
