Good news! South Africans can sit back and enjoy their Sunday without state-inflicted power outages as Eskom announced that load shedding would continue to be suspended until Monday afternoon.
In a short statement issued on Sunday morning, Eskom stated that load shedding would be suspended until 4 p.m. on Monday due to the return to service of Kusile 3, sustained improved generation performance, and lower-than-anticipated demand for electricity.
This means South Africans can go about their day without worrying about power cuts.

Eskom also reassured the public that they would closely monitor the power system and communicate any changes to load shedding if required. This ensures that any future power interruptions can be planned and managed effectively.
In addition to the news of the load-shedding suspension, the Minister of the Presidency for Electricity, Dr. Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, is expected to host his weekly media briefing on Sunday to provide updates on implementing the Energy Action Plan.
This briefing will give further insight into the steps to address the country’s energy challenges and ensure a reliable power supply for all South Africans.
