Ahead of the Springboks clash with Romania, the power utility has given some relief to rugby fans after it announced it will be implementing Stage 2 load shedding from 4pm on Sunday.
This after Eskom previously communicated it would be implementing Stage 3 load shedding.
Last week South Africans were left in the dark as the ailing power utility implemented Stage 6 load shedding at short notice.
This was followed by reductions of Stage 5 and 4 load shedding.
But, Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said further improvement in generation capacity has allowed the the reduction in load shedding.
“Stage 2 load shedding will be implemented from 4pm today until 4pm on Monday.
“Thereafter Stage 4 load shedding will be implemented from 4pm on Monday until 5am on Tuesday, followed by Stage 2 load shedding from 5am until 4pm.
“This pattern will be repeated daily until further notice,” Mokwena said.
She said further communication will be shared should any significant changes occur.
