The power utility said rolling blackouts would continue until 6 am on Wednesday.

JOHANNESBURG - Eskom Eskom's plan to suspend load shedding to ease traffic congestion has been canned.

On Monday, the power utility announced it would run a pilot programme to halt rolling blackouts during the morning and afternoon peak hours.That has proven to be unsustainable, as Eskom has now pulled the plug because of breakdowns at some units. The power utility's Sikonathi Mantshantsha said: “We will carry on with load shedding until 6 am on Wednesday morning.”
