The power utility has said that the risk for load-shedding will increase later in the week as South Africa’s power system is expected to be tight over the next few days.

Eskom said is a statement, “This risk does increase later in the week as water and diesel reserves decline. Mild and cloudy weather is forecasted from Wednesday onwards, which will increase the demand in electricity, thereby putting pressure on the system and increasing the risk for load shedding.”

The utility, which implemented load-shedding across the country this past weekend has called on all South Africans to use electricity sparingly.
