There is a medium chance of power cut on Thursday, Eskom said.
“There is a medium probability of load shedding during the day, with a high probability of load shedding for this evening,” the power utility said on its twitter page.
On Wednesday, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa said Eskom was racing to recruit as many skilled people as possible, regardless of their skin colour.
Responding to questions in the National Assembly, he told MPs he was not aware of so-called “backroom”, race-based retrenchments taking place at Eskom, though there had been voluntary retrenchments.
“When it comes to the issue of retrenchments, there was a process of asking people to take voluntary retrenchments. That has since been stopped… because we want to retain as many skilled people as we possibly can.”
