Eskom has announced that loadshedding will be reduced to Stage 3 between 4pm and 5am from this evening and will continue for the entirety of the weekend.
This comes as PetroSA recently supplied the power utility with much-needed diesel.
Daytime loadshedding will remain at stage 2 between 5am and 4pm daily until further notice.

A generating unit each at Kendal, Grootvlei, and Tutuka power stations were taken offline for repairs since Wednesday afternoon. Four units at Camden power station have also been taken offline to repair a water leak that supplies auxiliary cooling water.
This is in addition to the three units at Kusile power station that were taken offline due to chimney system repairs.
Eskom currently has 6000 MW on planned maintenance, while another 14 160 MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.
