South Africa’s power utility, Eskom, has announced that it will cut 3,000 megawatts of power in controlled outages, known locally as load-shedding, from 5:30 pm (15:30 GMT) on Saturday until further notice, following a temporary setback.

At the end of January, Eskom implemented similar power cuts after 10 months of uninterrupted supply, as the utility strives to overcome chronic outages that have hindered economic growth for years.

In a statement, Eskom said it would provide an update on Sunday but did not specify the cause of the latest setback.
