Eskom offers power for Sunday but it's lights out again from 5pm

Eskom on Sunday announced that South Africa would have power throughout the morning and afternoon. 

The power utility said it could temporarily suspend load-shedding because of sufficient recovery in generating capacity and pumped storage dam levels,

“Load-shedding was cancelled at 8am this morning, owing to a sufficient recovery in generating capacity and the pumped storage dam levels,” it said.

“Load-shedding will be reinstated at 5pm and the stage will be confirmed during the afternoon.”

Eskom said it rolled out stage 4 load-shedding since Friday because of the high number of breakdowns and depleted emergency generation reserves.
