Power utility Eskom has announced that stage 1 load-shedding will be implemented from 5am on Monday morning.

This comes after load-shedding was suspended on Christmas Day after prolonged stage 4 load-shedding.

Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said stage 1 load-shedding has been made possible by lower demand for electricity during the day.

Eskom had initially indicated that stage 2 load-shedding would be implemented from Monday, however Mantshantsha said lower demand for power had reduced Eskom's reliance on emergency generation reserves.
