Power cuts will be implemented between stages 1 and 2 for most of next week, the state-owned utility said. This is as more generating units return to service following the recent unlawful industrial action.Friday, 5am to midnight – stage 3Monday, 5am to 4pm – stage 1Wednesday, 4 pm to midnight – stage 2“As the generation capacity shortages persist over the next few weeks, load shedding will continue to be implemented at various stages,” Eskom said.
