It’s good news for South Africans this weekend as Eskom says it is not expecting load-shedding.
In a statement issued on its official Twitter page, Eskom said that lower demand for electricity – combined with the reduction in “unplanned breakdowns” – meant that rotational blackouts were not expected from December 14 to 16.
“Eskom will continue to use emergency reserves to supplement capacity if necessary over this period. We however remind customers that as the system continues to remain vulnerable, load-shedding could be implemented at short notice if there is a change on the system,” the statement said.

Earlier on Friday, Eskom downgraded load-shedding to stage 1 from 4pm, and then terminated the rotational power cuts to all areas by 11pm.
