Eskom has implemented stage two rolling blackouts from 2pm this afternoon until Saturday.
Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter has given an
update on the country's fragile power system as the utility continues to battle
breakdowns.
De Ruyter has said the Power Utility has
insufficient generation capacity at their disposal and they have no alternative
but to implement stage two load shedding from 2pm this afternoon until 5am on
Saturday morning, the 20th of November
On Tuesday, five units at their aging and
inefficient power plants went offline.
De Ruyter said they were also dealing with
two boiler tube leaks at the Kusile and Medupi plants.
The Power Utility is urging all residents
to reduce the demand on electricity when they have it.
