Load shedding stage 4 implemented until 10pm

The country will once again be left in darkness on Thursday as Eskom implements Stage 4 load shedding from 8am to 10pm.

In a statement, the power utility explained that Stage four will resume today due to the continuing severe generation supply constraints caused by multiple unit breakdowns, as well as the additional demand as a result of the cold weather.
