Eskom has confirmed that stage two load shedding will be implemented from midday Friday.
The power cuts will continue until 23:00 Sunday evening.
In a statement released by Eskom, they announced that the loadshedding has been exacerbated by the forced shutdown of five generating units at the Medupi Power Station as a result of the inability to get coal into the units due to the heavy rain in the Lephalale area last night.
