Eskom implemented stage 3 load-shedding from 2:31am on Wednesday 22 November due to insufficient emergency reserves and generation capacity as a result of four units not returning to service as planned.

The utility sent out a message at 3am in the morning, and the move to stage 4 follows a period of reduced load-shedding.

South Africans have not had to deal with stage 4 since the middle of September.

Eskom's Koeberg nuclear power station recently added over 900MW to the grid after an extended maintenance period.
