Eskom has implemented stage 5 load-shedding until further notice.

The power utility announced on Saturday afternoon that this was due to unusually high demand and the breakdown of a generating unit each at Hendrina, Kendal and Kriel power stations.

In addition, Koeberg Unit 1 was taken offline on Saturday morning for planned refuelling and routine maintenance. Eskom will give a full update in due course.
