Eskom has announced that load shedding will drop to stage five from midnight.
Load-shedding will be reduced to stage 5 at midnight on Monday after the return of some generation units, Eskom said on Monday afternoon.
On Sunday, Eskom CEO André de Ruyter said the power utility has 'just about' used up its emergency diesel supply for the financial year.
Eskom implemented Stage 6 load-shedding in the early hours of Sunday after the power utility announced on Saturday there was a possibility of even higher stages being implemented at short notice.
Load-shedding will move to Stage 5 from 10am on Saturday until 5am on Monday, with the possibility of even higher stages being implemented at short notice.
