GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - As power utility Eskom still battles an unprecedented number of breakdowns in generating units, South African should get comfortable moving between various stages of load shedding.

The country is currently on stage 3 of rolling blackouts, which is set to continue until 16:00 on Thursday.

Thereafter, stage 4 will be implemented until 05:00 on Friday morning.

Load shedding is expected to be lowered to Stage 2 from 05:00 to 16:00 on Friday, provided there are no additional breakdowns over the weekend. For now though, stages 2 and 1 load shedding will be implemented over the weekend. 

You will be affected as follows:
