Are you exempt from load shedding?

[MartinGB]

Certain suburbs in South Africa experience lower stages of load shedding, or in some cases no load shedding at all. There are multiple reasons for this.

Do you live in an area that is exempt from load shedding?

 

[epah]

Yes I am a Cadre...

 

[Grieta Thanburg]

Thinking people will show and tell if they have no loadshedding

 

[Neuk_]

We are not in our area but I recently heard that my inlaws are no longer being load shed as some or other high wanking ranking government official has a property at an estate close to them.

They just want to see how many ANC members are on the forum.

 

[Totempole]

Should be more specific about option to 2. Does living in a City of Cape Town supplied area count as experiencing lower levels of Loadshedding?

 

[Nerfherder]

Lower level of LS because im in CoCT and occasionally miss slots.
Some houses on our road and the two roads below us, never get LS. Hospital grid.

 

[Benedict A55h0le not]

In Cape Town they do not know what LS is because the DA is so great they saw this coming and introduced a great solar policy early on and now every house and business is stacked with panels and there is so much surplus that the entire world can be supplied 7 times over. Besides the great solar policy the DA also built mini nuclear stations as standby for cloudy days. Welcome to Cape Town, the city that works for you!

 

[SykomantiS]

Sadly not exempted, even though near as I can tell, I'm on the same block / grid / whatever as a hospital.

I remember a couple of years ago on some Facebook group someone asked the unspeakable thing "Why don't we have loadshedding". Needless to say, that person was virtually stoned by the community.

Edit: Some secrets are best kept as secrets. I've also seen some spawns of satan estate agents use it in marketing on property 24

 

[ReeceDBN031]

in Durban so technically get lower amounts

 

[FiestaST]

Imma pleb so no.

 

[$m@Rt@$$]

My house is. Although I did have to sell a kidney and half my liver on the black market.

 

[Charlesjjm]

Nope. But there are times, like this past Saturday, where we did not have loadshedding for the whole day.

 

[Mr G]

At home, no, but at work we are exempt. We're on the OR Tambo grid.

 

[pinball wizard]

Used to be exempt. The sub was so fragile it would fall over so they didn't dare switch it off. Then it burned up anyway.

 

[bwana]

Exempt since June 2022 due to the ongoing drought crisis in PE.

But I feel all your pain...

 

[cr@zydude]

I live in Cape Town and am supplied by the municipality, so sometimes I am on a lower stage than Eskom client.

Self provision and load shedding exemption are two very different things

Why did my DA ward councillor not connect my street to this?
