Why Eskom hiked load-shedding to stage 4

Eskom has announced that stage 4 load-shedding will remain in effect until 05:00 on Sunday, 3 September 2023.

The power utility said stage 4 load-shedding is required to recover emergency generation reserves and allow maintenance to be conducted in preparation for next week.

Failed state and all.

Our power was supposed to be out from 12 to 2, never went off.

Lucky you. The past 6 months we still have not missed a second of loadshedding. On time. Every time. Only have electricity a few hours per day.

 

[VooDooC]

The reason why they implemented it is due to incompetence and corruption. Nothing more, nothing less...

 

[GrandJury]

Are we time traveling?

These were the only two reasons why we have loadshedding in the first place the past 13 years.

Yep, first they tell us it involved failures but now it's maintenance. All BS manipulation

And why can't they now announce what it will be from 5am on Sunday???

So what's happening next week.

It's been stage 1 and 3 alternating for a while now. That's maybe 4h off a day drama queen.

 

[DapperDanMan]

Because they haven't yet agreed among themselves how many more power stations they want to sabotage from within between now and then. Duh!

Eskom seems to be burning diesel at a rate of knots.
Only a matter of time before funds run out.
My prediction... ,and i hopefully am proven wrong, is that come Nov-Dec we will have stage 6 or higher like last year.

 

[rvZA]

It's been stage 1 and 3 alternating for a while now. That's maybe 4h off a day drama queen.

Still do not have a single full day of electricity. Only certain hours of the day. Pretty much the same as any other failed African country.

 

[Cranjus McBasketball]

They might as well say it's because unicorns crashed into the station. That's about how much their reasons even matter anymore.

Are we certain that deRuyter has actually left Eskom? This nonsense is meant to be over already.

Eskom has announced that stage 4 load-shedding will remain in effect until 05:00 on Sunday, 3 August 2023.

Besides everything else it seems Journalism has also gone down the toilet in this country.

 

[porchrat]

Perhaps look up the definition of "few".

Also no, 4h per day is not the same as pretty much any other African failed state.

 

[rvZA]

Perhaps look up the definition of "few".

Still does not change the fact that we only have electricity certain hours of a day.

Long may these winds of change blow... up the ANC.
