This is what happens when the country is run by inept low IQ morons.

“We remind customers that load-shedding is implemented as a last resort to maintain the stability of the power system regardless of the stage of load-shedding,” Eskom said.

If you believe this, expect Father Christmas on the eve of 24 December in your lounge dropping off gifts!

Announcing stage 4 an hour before it begins.

Way to go, guys.

Yes, they must consume the spice from Arrakis to give themselves prescient capabilities to see when generation units will break.

They are saving up for 1 Nov 2021 for The Holy event. Of course magically covid and/or loadshedding issues... there will be none on Monday. Even if they burn through cornkernels...

I hope so. Don't want to give "I"EC any excuses to not declare it "free and fair".

Why aren't property development companies, OUTA and municipalities suing the government?

It has become more apparent that we need to be weaned off Eskom. This is a real possibility in the bigger cities.

Why aren't we moving towards private estates generating their own electricity and charging residents?

Municipalities also generating their own power for residents


In general organisations like OUTA constantly suing government and challenging legislation.

A lot of them are being built with solar panels but i am surprised that you don't see them using shopping mall type generators.

AFAIK because it's illegal. Thank NERSA.

Shopping malls seem to be doing it though, not sure why it can't be for residential.

Could be a ruse though, anc getting to look like the heroes battling the evil Eskom.

They can't sell it back and it's grid tied

But this is just within a complex. Why can't they have a big generator and sell to residents during outages?
