Background

Eskom has suspended load-shedding again. The power utility says an improvement in generating capacity has allowed it to ease the weekend outages. Spokesperson Daphne Mokwena thanks South Africans who heed the call to use electricity sparingly and efficiently, including switching off geysers and pool pumps. This lowers demand, helps alleviate the pressure on the system and contributes to lower stages of load-shedding.
