Khulu Phasiwe, spokeswoman for Eskom, said that non-Eskom customers should contact their municipalities to find out the list of areas that would be affected.

In a presentation of its interim results on Wednesday, Eskom said its production capacity is expected to fall further from 72% to less than 50% in Mpumalanga coal-fired power plants, a situation that could intensify power outages.
