Blackout risk as generators fail

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

Johannesburg - The risk of power cuts was high on Wednesday after two of Eskom's generators failed, the power utility said.

“Two generators failed and this is part of a number of other challenges within the systems which have exacerbated the situation,” spokesman Khulu Phasiwe said.

“We are not saying there will be load-shedding but the risk is high between now (noon) and 10pm. If we all work together and use electricity sparingly, we can avoid load-shedding.”

So that would mean in the space of 2 months we've had at least 6 generators fail on them?

They just announced earlier that everything's peachy, I'm beginning to suspect we're closer to a total blackout than we were led to believe as they simply don't have a fcking clue.
