South African state power utility Eskom said on Sunday it would extend daily power cuts all through next week as generation capacity shortage continues.
Striking workers, delay in maintenance and creaking old thermal power plants have forced the monopoly power supplier of South Africa to implement one of the worst power cuts in more than two years.
'Stage 6' is a level of power cut on an eight level system which essentially means Eskom will have to take off almost 6000 megawatts of capacity from the grid, and based on other levels, South Africans could see between six and eight hours of power cut in a day.
