Eskom Implements Nightly Stage 6 Load-Shedding Until Further Notice

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Eskom announced that it would ramp up load-shedding to Stage 6 from 21:00 Tuesday to 05:00 this morning and then alternate between Stage 4 (05:00-16:00) and Stage 6 (16:00-05:00) until further notice. The record streak of power outages contributed to the first annual decline in South Africa's industrial production in four months revealed in data published yesterday, even as the contraction was smaller than expected.
  • South Africa's Department of International Relations confirmed that the country will host an in-person BRICS summit in the second half of the year. The ruling ANC party had previously suggested that it would propose expanding the bloc's membership.
  • The local calendar lacks any first-tier events today.
