This slowing down of the power reductions followed a week where South Africans were subjected to Stages 5 and 6, which saw areas without electricity for between four and 10 hours a day.

These extreme power reduction supply led to residents in some areas in Gauteng and Mpumalanga taking to the streets in protest and demanding electricity.

On Friday, residents of Buccleuch, Johannesburg, demonstrated outside the utility head offices in Sunninghill, with placards stating they had enough of the electricity cuts and had not had electricity since last week Sunday.
