JOHANNESBURG - Eskom has implemented Stage 4 blackouts from noon until 5am Monday morning.
It says its emergency generation reserves at both diesel and pumped storage dam levels are almost depleted.
The higher blackout stages will help build up the emergency generation reserves during the week.
Stage 4 blackouts will be implemented daily between 4pm until 5am from Monday until Wednesday.
Stage 3 will be implemented for the rest of the day.
