Hamstrung power utility Eskom has moved to suspend load shedding from 9am until 4pm on Tuesday.
Thereafter, Eskom said, Stage 4 load shedding will resume from 4pm until 5am on Wednesday.
Eskom said the suspension of power outages is due to improved available generation capacity and a significant reduction of breakdowns.
“Eskom is closely monitoring the system performance and will communicate a further update this afternoon
[Tuesday],” Eskom said.
For most of last week, businesses and households were plunged into Stage 6 power cuts.
