Improved generation performance and expectations of lower weekend demand have allowed Eskom to reduce load-shedding from stage 5 to 4 from Friday afternoon.

This is effective from 2pm until 5am on Saturday.

Eskom said pumped storage dam levels have been restored to normal.

An update is expected later on Friday.
