Eskom has asked the public to use electricity sparingly after one of its reactors at the Koeberg nuclear plant near Cape Town went down, the Cape Times reported on Friday.

"The power system is extremely tight at present, particularly during the evening peak hours between 6pm and 9pm," the power utility said.

Reactor goes down and they've still got their siren drill coming up on 27 February as well.

The reactor going down doesn't even phase me anymore

Had a couple of unscheduled blackouts already this summer. This Is Africa.

Explains why the water at Melkbos has been so cold lately.

Usually we stay warm for a few days after swimming there.

You guys started to glow yet?

So that's where the cast of Twilight got their "sparkle"

Eskom running a nuclear power station is much like the ANC running a country. Yeah it happens but you'd better be prepared for a meltdown.

I'd rather not it goes boom... where will all the vaalies go for their annual holiday excursion then? Peace and quiet on Gauteng's roads during that period. Bliss.
