No load shedding on Friday, but use power sparingly – says Eskom
The utility has managed to stave-off rolling blackouts after it warned of possible stage 2 load shedding at short notice due to a faulty conveyor belt at its Medupi power station which failed last night.

JOHANNESBURG – Eskom says it will not be implementing load shedding on Friday. However, South Africans were yet again urged to use electricity sparingly.
The utility has managed to stave-off rolling blackouts after it warned of possible stage 2 load shedding at short notice due to a faulty conveyor belt at its Medupi power station which failed last night.
The conveyor belt, which snapped and hindered the ability to generate electricity, has since been repaired.
