Eskom announces evening load-shedding for 3rd time this week

Eskom has announced it will implement load-shedding in the evening for the third time this week, due to a shortage of generation capacity.

Stage 2 load-shedding will be implemented between 17:00 and 22:00 on Wednesday.

The power utility said the power cuts were necessary due to the loss of three generation units at its power stations during the day.

Thought loadshedding has become a super hero

 

[R13...]

I missed the past two days because my slot was outside of the window but today I get to sit in the dark for most of the slot. Will probably just go to a restaurant.

 

[mpdjhb]

So the new normal now.

Ooooohhhh! Look at eNCA being all edgy and using the correct term instead of the softcock loadshedding bullshit.

Yeah wasn't in any doubt, though luckily I get skipped tonight, unless it goes to stage 4 :-(

Was not part of the previous times the power went down.

This evening however I'm from 16:00 to 19:00.

Sort of glad to see that there are a few changes.

Absolutely.

No need to panic tho, Pravin has level 8 to catch us on the way down..
Clowns & circuses.
Enjoy the show..

Hmm crooks and communists; sometimes one and the same, always bad for the populace, unless you are fellow traveller, apparatchik, nomenklatura, cadre or whatever of course.
