I bet a majority portion of the Senior Relevant Officials are not really all that relevant ..

This outage is going to take a while. You do not erect 6 pylons in a couple of days.

There are so many Chinese here already, you may just end up surprised ...

Love how people are blaming CoT, it's like guys that's an Eskom pylon

Lol...milestones....

 

[BuckRogers]

Minister of electricity said there are only technical issues, no corruption or criminality. So these guys must be lying.

I thought the it was CoT infrastructure as reported earlier, where do you get your information?

Normally Eskom handles the HV infrastructure, I see they've reached out to Eskom for assistance from Eskom. Will have to wait and see what happens

Flip side

The outage adds more power to the grid.

Yeah, that's also what I thought when I saw 132kV, but Eskom has clarified that the infrastructure belongs to Tshwane, I don't know if I posted it here, could have been another thread.

It is incredible how lax our police, and government is about this situation. Clearly, it is terrorism. How can taking out the power grid not be seen as an act of aggression and terrorism?

Terrorists cant terrorise other terrorists..That would be unconstitutional...

Strange, especially over a N highway.

He was badly injured and wasn't his fault at all.

Pylons have been stripped for scrap metal for ages now. City of Tshwane did nothing about it.

Last night with the big gusts of wind one blew over and it was a domino effect that led to 5 other pylons also collapsing and/or getting badly damaged.

Looking at days if not weeks with power outages.

In guessing/assuming that the rest of Pretoria won't be loadshed during this outage. Will try to confirm

Not seeing any Tshwane load shedding schedule, damn I mean CoJ really is the pits, if this happened here there would still be shedding
