Eskom said there was a high risk of load-shedding on Friday and for the rest of the weekend.
“No load-shedding was implemented today [Thursday] due to some generating units returning to service.
“As power systems remain tight and volatile‚ the risk of rotational load-shedding remains high for tomorrow [Friday]‚ as well as for the weekend‚ when we need to replenish emergency reserves (water and diesel) to limit the possibility of load-shedding in the following week‚” Eskom said.
