Stage 6 loadshedding will be rolled out from 16:00, Eskom said on Wednesday afternoon.
It will continue until 05:00 on Thursday, when Stage 5 will kick in until 16:00 on Thursday. The pattern will be repeated daily until further notice.
This follows after an update in the morning which stated that loadshedding would be escalated to Stage 5 due to higher than anticipated demand.
