Eskom hits stage 6 load-shedding without notice

Eskom increased load-shedding from stage 5 to stage 6 early Sunday morning without prior notification to the public after two more generation units tripped overnight.

The power utility published a tweet at 04:42 on Sunday, 18 September 2022, confirming that stage 6 had been implemented at about 04:16 AM, 26 minutes earlier.

I asked this before but I believe Stage 8 is the boss level?? We’re making good progress.

Welldone SA, Stage5 Boss was a surprise and you beat him in under 24 hours, but wait, I have more challenge! Stage6 Boss incoming! - Eskom

I think this is the first time they've bumped a stage so suddenly in the early morning, let alone on a Sunday.

 

[diepeterpan]

Just as I can read Stage 4 they make it Stage 5, have not yet even mastered that one, and now they throw Stage 6 at us. Is this some sort of Phd test?

And just because our esteemed politicians won't let Andre get on with the job and employ qualified staff. Party over country

Unannounced stage 6 at 4am on a Sunday! Just imagine what tomorrow and the rest of the week is going to be like!

That briefing is going to be rough. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce stage 8. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if they announce stage 9 and 10

Has the cold snap hit yet?

Fire the f-ing bloated eskom workforce and get all the people that can actually do the f-ing job back to fix the light in this sh1thole cuntry.
