Cape Town – Eskom suspended load shedding on Sunday due to sufficient recovery in electricity generation capacity.
The power utility had subjected the country to power cuts since Wednesday last week.
“The period of load shedding assisted us in replenishing the emergency generation reserves in anticipation of the week ahead. Since Saturday morning, Eskom teams have returned nine generating units to service, helping to ease the capacity constraints,” said Eskom in a statement.
