It says its due to multiple unit trips at Camden Power Station in the Mpumalanga province and will continue until further notice.

On Saturday, Eskom announced Stage 3 power cuts describing it as another temporary setback.

It is the second time this month that the power utility has had to implement rolling blackouts.

It brought back loadshedding earlier this month, after several generation unit breakdowns-after having gone more than 300 days without power cuts.

Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa and Eskom will hold a media briefing at 11am on Sunday, to provide more details on the power system.
