Blackouts to end at 5am on Saturday

JOHANNESBURG - Blackouts will be suspended from 5am on Saturday.

There have been 32 straight days of rolling power cuts in South Africa. That's the longest period of blackouts in our country to date.

Rolling blackouts have been implemented since 6 September.

Earlier this year, during the colder months in May and July, residents experienced long stretches of blackouts but never to the current extent.
