Eskom to implement Stage 2 load-shedding from 12:00

State-owned power utility Eskom has advised that Stage 2 load-shedding will be implemented from midday on January 14 through to the end of January 17. Eskom says the load-shedding is necessary owing two tripped generation units at the Kusile power station, as a result of failure of the main coal feed conveyor belts supplying coal to the units.
