This past week power outages swept through the country leaving many South Africans destitute, but Eskom says it expects power supply to remain steady over the long weekend.
Eskom spokesperson Erica Johnson told the media that the national power utility does not expect any loadshedding as the demand for electricity is generally low over holidays.
She said the two generators that had tripped during the week were running as normal by Friday morning but that a generator at the Koeberg power station was taken offline for maintenance.
This power station is expected to be in working order by Saturday.
