Eskom can't say for sure when it will suspend Stage 4 load-shedding

[ShaunSA]

2/10. That pisspoor attempt is as pathetic as your shriveled manhood.

Yeah look @Matt91 and I aren't looking for a threesome

 

[Flanders]

Come on chaps, can't you take a stab in the dark?

Seems to be how most stabs are taken in SA these days.

What a failure. Seems that the "racists" were bang-on with their predictions on how these clowns would send this country down the drain.

 

[Iamn0tageek]

I don't think everyone at Eskom are being honest.

 

[Iamn0tageek]

What can we do clever guy?

Not much I'm afraid. Please reduce your electricity usage. Together we can beat this.

Actually not a bad idea, demand has been high

This is probably how the end begins, not with a big blackout like everyone expects but with longer and more undefined outages until it just doesn't come back on for > a month.

Source: experience.. in my area for example today was the 1st loadshedding in 3 where the substation didn't immediately trip & leave us in the dark for > 8 hours. I'd say TIA but then again who doesn't know that already?

But the ANC wants this, the thought of total control over infrastructure & facilities gets them wet, and not wet as in the good way..

Wet like the coal?

Yes

Eskom gives up trying to predict when it will lift load-shedding

Eskom chief generation officer Phillip Dukashe said that, in the best-case scenario, they could suspend load-shedding on Friday, 22 April 2022.

This is the first time in years the power utility has avoided giving an estimated time by which load-shedding would end.

A screw is loose somewhere with guy, somebody needs to call Dr.Phil

Just another Shithole African cuntry.

My African dream, there's no tomorrow. What a miserable thieving shithole this place has turned into, ubuntu se moer. R5000 bail for R1.3billion in theft.

I don't think selling VPN or Capitec products is going to help them...

Samsung Remotes do well I hear..

Seems to be how most stabs are taken in SA these days.

What a failure. Seems that the "racists" were bang-on with their predictions on how these clowns would send this country down the drain.

Imagine if big brain moment... the real hate and spite they could instead inflict if they actually prove them wrong and make the country bigger and better than it has ever been?

 

[borro]

I can't say for sure when I'll settle my account. Is it ok if I pay you next time? schweeeet

 

[ProfA]

Tomorrow we give you a company that's:

1) Riddled with corruption
2) Bloated with employees that don't know how to do their job but you can't fire the bad ones because the unions won't let you
3) Not making enough money to sustain itself
4) Had previous managers who ran the equipment into the ground
5) And you have a boss that refuses to change the rules to allow you to save the company

Let's see how well you do.

I hate load shedding as much as the rest, but I'm not going to pretend that De Ruyter is the one at fault.

Ahhhhh. There are still some of you left.

 

[zolly]

Ahhhhh. There are still some of you left.

It's funny how some people see common sense as "being a fanboi". Here's just one example of what De Ruyter would like to do, but CAN'T because govt is in the way.

What's within his control is to find the culprits responsible for theft and sabotage, and recover the funds and have them prosecuted.

At least get the company functional again to be able to tackle all the burning issues without any rotten eggs in the ranks.

Yes it's a big task, but we haven't seen any of this in the past 2 years. Something/anything to show that the tide is turning. Just lip service about stuff we already know...
