The biggest irony is that the people who are actually supposed to feel this incompetence first-hand so they can change their vote (rural and informal settlements) probably already had no electricity to begin with, so they won't even notice what's going on

When their cellphone towers go down they might notice. Also, if payment systems are affected or shops are closed with no lighting it might get their attention. It all depends on how much LS the country gets from now to Monday.

Why couldn't they announce this yesterday? Sure they can forecast... Eskom sucks for continuity, really have no interest or care for their customers.

But Squirrels said that only ANC can fix load shedding. We are waiting Squirrell....

Hmm. I'm tasting what ANC voters have been having.. empty promises! Noice.

The City is pleased to announced it is able to protect its customers with two stages of Eskom’s load-shedding for most of the day today.

Stage 2: 12:00 until 18:00
Stage 3: 18:00 until 20:00
Stage 2: 20:00 until 22:00
Stage 4: 22:00 until 05:00 tomorrow, 28 October

I guess the city will publish a new table tomorrow.

At least they're trying to minimize the impact...

Yes, they are mitigating, but stage 4 will exhaust their generation capacity and usage, and that is why I know why they aren't publishing a table in advance. I will be surprised to see tomorrow optimally mitigated. These are challenges, and not an onus which should be placed on the city. Nonetheless, Eskom should have announced this in advance, they have real poor risk management.

Not sure how ESKOM can predict units tripping?
