Monday, 24 February 2025

Residents across the North West province will see some relief as Eskom announced a reduction in loadshedding to Stage 4 starting from 00:30 on Monday, 24 February 2025, until further notice.

This follows the successful recovery of several power generation units after multiple breakdowns over the weekend, including:

• All five units at Majuba

• Two units at Camden

• One unit at Medupi

According to Eskom, eight out of ten units that had tripped this past weekend have returned to service. The issues causing these trips were described as purely technical in nature, linked to electrical and control system faults in auxiliary components at power stations.
