Background

South Africa’s power utility, Eskom, has announced that the suspension of load-shedding will continue until further notice. This decision is attributed to the sustained availability of generation capacity and sufficient emergency reserves. The announcement follows two consecutive weeks without load-shedding, marking the longest period of uninterrupted power supply since the December festive season. Eskom’s spokesperson, Daphne Mokwena, has stated that the utility will provide a system update on Sunday afternoon or in the event of any significant changes.
