what a place! Sunday lunch is always outstanding. Leg of Pork, leg of Lamb and an enormous chunk of Beef. Creamy spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, yellow rice and crispy roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding and pork crackling. What a Sunday lunch. If you have difficulty choosing, you can have a little of everything…
 
You cannot do maintenance if you do not have proper educated, trained and experienced staff members. Maintenance has never been done from 1994 to date. Hence the collapse of the grid and very limited electricity availability in SA.

Big Eskom maintenance lie

Politicians blame ongoing load-shedding on increased maintenance. However, Eskom’s data shows it is actually due to rising unplanned breakdowns.

Just quit with this BS.

All most all loadshedding is due too...read my lips...take downs for PLANNED maintenance. The units were not broken and worked fine. But then 02h00 in the morning, with skeleton staff to make the scam possible, someone decides to take them down to create a shortfall.

Expect 4 units to come back online? No problem, we just take another 4 or 5 offline...artificially keep the total shortfall at around 23-24MW at all times.

Not so long ago mybb had an article about a Durban Eskom ex-employee effectively saying the same thing. That LS was not neccesarry that time, but someone made an irrational decision to take some working units offline to book them for...planned maintenance.

That is what the idiots in the government mean but just like most here, they also don't know what planned maintenance actually is.

Most units taken offline and are used as the reason for LS, did not break.

Maybe before commenting on how wrong people are, you should proof read this stroke inducing diatribe. You sorta kinda lose all credibility when it looks like you dictated it to your 5 year old.

Here I'll help you out:
- Almost not all most.
- Due to not due too
- Takedowns not take downs.
- Necessary not neccesarry

Well there has been a lot of speculation as to why our load shedding preceded price hike requests and then just magically dissipated afterwards.

And the almost 2 years of constant shedding has put that to rest.

when you have more jumping on the bandwagon your scheme could fall apart.

like maintenance contractors for example, or diesel supplies, or fuel tank truckers, etc...

too many piggys at the trough and the trough gets ripped apart!

It is manufactured, i've been saying that for years. Plenty of irrational decisions, strange LS sessions and breakdowns happened anything but random. But the actors are not the usual you think of.

The overlords don't give a fck about Anc or Ramaphosa with LS thru the SONA, or LS the moment he or his minister say something about the power. LS thru the cricket and soccer but no LS thru the rugby. Plus LS at night with none during the day is one of the biggest nonsensical things, its almost as if LS is specifically geared to upset voters at their most vulnerable time.

To blame it all on Anc bogeyman is just lazy thinking. But there is low level corruption going on too. I mean who wouldn't if you left for home a perfectly working units, then see tomorrow 4 were taken offline at midnight for no reason and the country now is on stage6 as a result of that irrational decision. You can spot BS so you might as well eat too...can't fight 'em, join 'em....it worked during covid...every industry joined in on the BS

yeah it is, but they are the root cause. the cancerous growth that needs to be cut out for the body to survive.
