Eskom announced on Friday afternoon that load shedding would be suspended from Saturday morning until Tuesday morning.
The embattled power utility will implement stage 2 power cuts from 4pm on Friday until 5am on Saturday.
Thereafter, the planned power cuts will be suspended until Tuesday morning at 5am.
Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said this was due to the sustained improved performance of generation availability as well as the anticipated lower demand over the long weekend.
"During the long weekend, Eskom will address minor defects on some generating units by performing planned maintenance. Eskom will closely monitor the power system and communicate any changes to load-shedding should it be required.”
