Eskom suspends loadshedding until Monday─── 07:39 Sun, 25 Dec 2022
Eskom has suspended power cuts until 5am on Monday morning.
Eskom says the suspension of power outages on Christmas Day is due to the lower demand for electricity.
1/3 Loadshedding will be suspended at 05:00 on 25 December until 05:00 on 26 December. Thereafter, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented until 16:00 on 27 December, whereafter Stage 3 loadshedding will be implemented.

Stage 2 power cuts will be implemented from Monday morning until 4pm on Tuesday.
The power utility says Stage 3 will then be implemented thereafter.
The embattled utility is appealing to the public to use electricity sparingly during this period or outages would have to be implemented at short notice.
