"Eskom will publish a further update on Wednesday afternoon, or as soon as there are any significant changes," spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said.

Since Saturday afternoon, a unit each at Tutuka and Matimba power stations were taken offline for repairs, while a unit each at Kendal, Kusile, Matla and Tutuka power stations were returned to service.
