Eskom shedding 3x?

I can understand why Eskom does not powershed weekends as small industries normally all shut down on Friday afternoon. But now they are saying they will powershed 3x a week. My question is how do they know this will be needed before hand? http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/Power_Cr...

I know that there is quiet a few units off at this time for general maintenance . So how can they say this for sure as a unit can trip at any time.
