JOHANNESBURG - Eskom’s has announced it will be implementing Stage 5 blackouts from midnight on Monday evening.

WATCH: Stage 6 power cuts hit SA

It follows the return to service of units at Camden, Kriel, and Kendal power plants.

Stage 6 was implemented at 4am on Sunday.

The utility is appealing to the public, to help conserve electricity.

#Loadshedding Update #Stage5

Overnight a unit each at Camden, Kriel, Kusile and Kendal were returned but unfortunately had to take off a unit at Duvha which developed a boiler tube leak. Loadshedding will thus be reduced to Stage 5 at midnight.
