Mostly in the JHB North area by the looks of it but those particular areas have had endless trouble.
It would be anything attached to the Houtkoppen substation and other areas like Randpark Ridge, Bromhof and such

Let's see how Joburg holds up today, going to be an interesting day.
Hopefully this is not our Venezuela moment.

Not sure why they are moaning, stage 4 on the 4.5 hour schedule I'd have a session every 12 hours, so in total I'd be down 9 hours sometimes longer as it would take forever to bring up the grid, one time I was knocked out on the morning session, power didn't come back on, went right through to the evening session and eventually by midnight I had power, only for it to go out again at 8am.

Grid collapsing or not, these areas are still offline 17 hours later with still no proper update from City Power as to what the real issue is.

So "the grid in our part of the city is collapsing".
Nobody said it's the Eskom grid collapsing.

Real reason why I have a generator. Load shedding se hoes, my coffee takes priority.
You can take away my power but you will never take away my coffee!

Gordhan: Load shedding to be downgraded to stage 3 on Wed night
Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan said he expected more power to be restored, starting on Wednesday night.
So why are we still on Stage 4 ?

Are Joburg residents still moaning about the 2 x 2.5 hours sessions and that 1 x 4.5 hour is better?

Yeah so pretty much the same as Johannesburg.
Though it is slightly better then the 4.5 hours every 12 hours or so.
Pretty similar in ekurhuleni + a few extra hours this morning
