But back to the topic.

Can anybody recall :

During the Zuma years, the Eskom power stations were pushed hard. When did the first problems/issues started to appear?

Been in Cape Town (far south) for almost half-a-century already but I don't really do demographics so wasn't sure about the ratios. Most coloured people I know (and I know a lot) come from Christian families but I realise many others are also of the Muslim faith especially those from the bo-kaap areas.

Some interesting stats from Wikipedia:

That's still a lot of people.

85 to 1994

The EAF highest was 80.5% in 1993, peak demand in was 24GW in 1994 by the looks of it.

Looks like it was 92% in 2001, demand highest was almost 32GW in 2003

Then it seems in 2013 they cut too this which is fancy for the management to read

No freaking demand in that report quite disappointing

Here is up to 2022

So De Ruyter took over in 2019 when the EAF had already dropped from 78% in 2018 to 69.95% in 2019 and he's too blame? It kept dropping though to a dismal 62% in 2022, hate to see what 2023 would be.

Somewhere between 2013 to 2018 but the real poo was from 2019

Sadly the up and down between stage 3 and 4 just makes my area sit at stage 4 anyway. I mean so I have no idea why they even bother, keep it at stage 4. As I mean I'll basically have 6 hours off everyday till Sunday anyway.

No need to ask anyone, the reason is obvious:

Or maybe the powers that be let the cartels get TOO greedy whilst trying to make Andre look bad, and now its gonna fsck them harder than they though possible
