I live in Weltevreden Park. According to the City Power Schedule we are due to have power cut tomorrow from 10am to 2pm, per this:

However, according to Eskom, we are due to be in the dark from 6pm to 10 pm:

Which do I believe?:confused:

Thanks for the great assistance. This seems to be case twice next week (Monday and Friday) as well.

If you are billed by City Power, then go with the City power schedule

Yes, that is the case and I'm inclined to agree with you since we were originally supposed to have been on the 10am to 2pm slot, three days a week. By this time tomorrow I'll obviously be a lot wiser.

It makes you wonder how even such a simple thing can get cocked-up!:(

There is no City Power schedule.

Sure they have some lies on their web site but that doesn't help because there is no indication of how it works. Eishcom, in their lies, pointed out that you'd be off 2 days in one week and one in the next. City Power have been utterly useless.


But yeah - if you get a bill from City Power you get mislead by them, and if Eishcom bill you, welltry whatever they have said.

Weltevreden is off now - as per schedule.

Probably be off tonight as per *other* schedule... :(
