Eskom has implement on-and-off loadshedding since Monday, 31 May.
However, the latest batch is a continuous implementation from 10am on 2 June until 10pm on 4 June.
The state-owned company says that power cuts are needed due to further breakdowns at the Majuba and Arnot power stations.
Meanwhile, there have also been delays in returning generating units to service at the Arnot and Tutuka power stations.
