A statement by the power utility said this is due to a shortage of generation capacity, as several units are currently out of service due to maintenance.

“… Because of maintenance, the system will not be able to meet 1 000MW of demand, meaning that although certain areas will be without electricity for a certain period, about 96 percent of South Africans will still continue to receive power supply at the same time,” the statement read.
