    Eskom does not expect winter load-shedding in South Africa

    The reason they don't reduce high paying areas is because of the number of connections to transformers is balanced, you can and still do have some people in affluent areas who bridge their connections and don't pay for electricity. The main issues here is density, there are a lot more illegal...

    Eskom does not expect winter load-shedding in South Africa

    Reduction and shedding serve the same function of reducing strain on the grid/transformer. reduction just targets high density low income areas, and there are some people in those areas who pay for their power. only those with illegal connections get 14 hours of free power.

    Gauteng gazettes new Gautrain routes and stations

    Seems a bit silly that if you want to go OR Tambo from Fourways or Sunninghill you'd have to go Samrand then Malboro, then catch the train to the airport? Or Cosmo to Sandton to take the airport train from there. Would have made more sense to have a Fouraways/Sunninghill > Malboro link to cut...

    FNB Global Account Card

    I see they recently changed from LoungeKey to Visa companion. Honestly it feels like a downgrade internationally. Wondering if there are other banks that offer LoungeKey as a benefit. I see that even Investec has ditched them for their Intransit App/Dragon Pass which seems to offer the same...

    SSEG - how many have been through the process of registering their inverter?

    Time when i got my solar system installed in JHB, installer said it wasn't a requirement from Eskom Direct at the time. If it has changed, i haven't heard or seen anything from Eskom asking that we apply.

    Load-shedding is coming back

    But the process is the same, just one affects a local transformer whilst the other the national grid. Load Reduction is just localized load shedding in a attempt to protect the transformer which would otherwise create a greater outage were it to blow. For the mere fact that is also applies...
