from the article

Although Eskom has managed to keep the power grid stable for the past 5 weeks, it has been well-established that the situation would remain strained for the next three years at least.

The scary part is the at least part.

I think it's pretty safe to say that you were the only one who had this idea. It's pretty well-documented that, when there is unplanned maintenance, and in some cases even planned maintenance, the capacity is not nearly high enough to sufficiently cope.
