The embattled power utility said a unit each at Kendal, Camden and Grootvlei power stations and two units each at Majuba and Matimba power stations have returned to service.
Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said two units at the Majuba power station tripped and a further unit was shut down for emergency repairs overnight.“Of the five units, two have since returned to service,” he said. “Eskom would like to thank the people of SA for their patience and understanding during the load-shedding,” Mantshantsha said.
“While the supply has improved at this point, Eskom would like to request the public to continue using electricity sparingly as the system is vulnerable and unpredictable.”
