On Sunday, Eskom raised hopes of a week of reprieve with suspended loadshedding.
In a statement, the struggling utility explained that due to consistent improvement in generation availability, along with reduced electricity demand, loadshedding would remain suspended “until further notice.”
“Eskom will communicate should any significant changes occur,” the statement read.
