Eskom implements Stage 2 blackouts

Eskom headquarters

 

JOHANNESBURG - Eskom will implement Stage 2 blackouts from 2pm on Saturday. The utility says this is a result of a breakdown of four generating units. 

These were two units at Grootvlei and a unit each at Camden and Medupi power stations.

Further, a delay in returning a generating unit to service at Lethabo Power Station contributed to the capacity shortages.

The power cuts will continue until further notice.
