Eskom says its technicians are working around the clock to restore capacity to the national grid, following a number of unplanned breakdowns at its substations due to poor infrastructure maintenance.

The power utility says the aim is to minimise the impact on the national grid and give matriculates enough time to get home safely.

Eskom announced Stage 2 load shedding to be implemented from 1am-6am on Wednesday.
