JOHANNESBURG - After ten months of uninterrupted power, South Africa is now facing a brief blackout on its streak of stability.

WATCH: Discussion | Eskom announces return of rolling blackouts

Eskom has announced a temporary dim moment with Stage 3 rolling blackouts being implemented from last night.

This follows a series of unplanned breakdowns at key power stations, necessitating the use of emergency reserves.

According to the power utility, these reserves now need to be replenished to ensure a stable power supply in the coming weeks.

Despite this setback, Eskom insists this is not a return to the dark days.

The Eskom Board Chairperson, Mteto Nyati discussed the situation with eNCA.
