The state-owned entity's spokesperson Sikhonathi Mantshantsha says while teams have managed to return some units to service, supply is still constrained. 


"Three generators were returned to service at the Duvha, Tutuka and Hendrina power stations. A single generation unit at Tutuka has not yet returned to service.


"As the aged generation infrastructure is unreliable and volatile, this constrained power system is expected to persist for the rest of the week, particularly as the cold front hits.”
