JOHANNESBURG - Eskom has implemented Stage 2 rolling blackouts until further notice.
The utility says six coal-fired power stations have been performing at 70 percent capacity for the first time since May last year.
Eskom says this has significantly boosted its generation capacity.
A welcome reprieve following months of heightened blackouts countrywide.
