Eskom breaks record for longest continuous load-shedding

Don't worry, De Ruyter is working on it. He is the first Eskom boss who is actually making a difference.

Just be patient.

If only that difference could've been a positive one.

Thing is though, there is very little Ford or Chevy about those vehicles under the hood. Lots of them even have Soviet/Russian-imported diesel engines in place of their original Detroit muscle.

Which is why them fixing our military vehicles was a terrible idea, because while they may get things running, they are likely to be non-standard and hobbled together from bits and pieces.

I was pulling our esteemed Minister's leg that paid for the wankers last holiday to our shores.

Eskom risks unprecedented load shedding if it meets air quality standards immediately - De Ruyter | Business

It will cost Eskom about R300 billion to make its existing coal-fired stations compliant with air quality requirements, the alternative of decommissioning them could push load shedding to Stage 15.

Geez, we're used to being threatened with Stage 8, but Stage 15 ?:oops:

stage 15 probably is as follows :

week 1 :
s - braai
m - work
t - braai
w - braai
t - braai
f - work
s - braai


week 2 :
s - work
m - braai
t - braai
w - work
t - braai
f - braai
s - braai


week 3 :
s - braai
m - braai
t - work
w - work
t - work
f - work
s - braai


week 4 :
s - braai
m - braai
t - braai
w - braai
t - braai
f - braai
s - braai
 
So basically, they want the people to beg for privatization, which is not the answer

Well, obviously we haven't been threatened enough and many are no longer scared of stage 8 either or barely affected by it. With stage 15, each province will likely get 1 day power every year. That should probably do the trick and get everyone to club in all their money to hand to Eskom.

Not when these "private" energy producers are owned by cadres and BEE tenderpreneurs

This and privatization would mean expensive electricity, the R2/kw will seem like chump change....but competition for Eskom is long overdue, I can't believe we only have one energy producer, no wonder why it's such a **** show apart from the AA story with the engineers and 10k "ghost" employees.
