JOHANNESBURG - Eskom has plunged the country into Stage 6 power cuts, indefinitely.
The embattled utility says this is due to capacity constraints.
Eleven generating units have broken down since Tuesday morning.
Eskom says the escalation is needed to preserve limited generation reserves.
South Africans are being urged to use electricity sparingly.
