Our turn in Humewood for load shedding - power went off at 16:25

What makes it worse is the lies that the load shedding was needed due to the "colder" weather - it's pleasant weather with no need for heaters, so this is a total load of BS.

Shows middle finger to EKSDOM.

The big electrical circuit breakers used each time there's load shedding need to be serviced after a specific number of operations, which have now become more frequent, BUT we know maintenance is lacking, so we can expect these breakers to fail soon and cause extended blackouts.

Ours was out this morning for a couple of hours and they're cutting it all day tomorrow for maintenance.

Blame it on the hill folk that are cold and need their heaters on :rolleyes:

:D

Cold in JHB, I guess. 4 hours of loadshedding this morning!

But they are a bunch of liars (we all know that). They're doing it to build up the coal reserves they messed up before!
