Eskom announces Stage 5 power cuts for Wednesday and Thursday

[Jan]

Eskom increases evening peak load-shedding stage — here's the new schedule

Eskom will implement Stage 5 load-shedding on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, with varying stages implemented for the rest of the week.

"While some generation units have been returned to service over the past few days, this is not sufficient to suspend load-shedding," Eskom stated.

All these up and down stages are fuking with my brain. To be honest I sometimes have no idea which stage we are in.

I am just happy when the lights are on

 

[Sinbad]

Throwing an odd number in there to keep it fresh

I guess even Tshwane council is confused, my power should be back up by now, but they are treating it as stage 5 while it is supposed to be 4 (what I think, but then again I am totally confused)

 

[Gtx Gaming]

No it's 5

 

[RedViking]

Wow..... Why don't they just make it stage 6, keep it stage 6 and fix everything quickly.

 

[RazedInBlack]

Why not go full throttle and shut the whole country down?

C'mon Eskom, you can do it!

 

[Morpheos]

This is why I luv SA. The peeps at Eksdom get a wage increase and we get less power. VIVA ANCr.p Viva

Imagine waking up at 8, switching on PC, and going to put on the kettle only to realise there's no ****ing power and you have a meeting at 9.

Its ****ing emberrassing, especially when dealing with international clients and you made triple sure the previous day that you won't get hit unless its stage 4.

Lo and behold these naiers hit you with a stage 5 or 6. I don't even remember these stages anymore.

I now need to make a plan to get a new battery for my laptop because the current one is moertoe already.

Maybe it’s like golf, nobody knows

 

[Crowley]

Stage 4 and stage 5 is exactly the same times for us so, whatever.

Stage 4 and stage 5 is exactly the same times for us so, whatever.

If you're not in PE, stage 5 can be up to 4 hours for one of the 3 sessions, it is only 1 where as on stage 6 it is a possibile 2.

Did you know that a while ago Madagascar also had some power cuts ... Every day they only had 2 hours of power.

We should be grateful for Eskom's performance ... Viva Suff Africa.
