Eskom load shedding on Saturday 9 May 2015

Eskom will implement stage 1 load shedding from 08:00 on Saturday, which is likely to continue until 22:00.

 

[DominionZA]

Our schedule is half over by 8 so we may escape it today.

 

[bwana]

Stage 1 and 2 are the same for us at this point. 10am to noon-thirty.

 

[MickeyD]

/move to Eskom section please?

 

[DominionZA]

Sigh... Never escaped it. Went off at 07H55. To 10H30.
Dont care. Heading off to Cyclelab in Fourways just now. Will just browse (and be tempted) until it's over.

 

[themank]

Hoping stage 2 holds off till 5pm. Then I'll be in the clear.

 

[MickeyD]

I'm screwed any which way, so it must stay on Stage 1 all day...

Stage 1: 14h00-16h30
Stage 2: 12h00-14h30 and 20h00-22h30
Stage 3: 20h00-00h30
Stage 4: 12h00-16h30

​​​​​​We are currently LOAD SHEDDING​

Eskom has declared Stage 1 Load Shedding from 08:00 till 22:30.

Load Shedding STAGE 1 in progress:

Time : 08:00-10:30 Block 8A

Areas of supply affected : No City Power customers affected

Time: 10:00-14:30 Block 5A

Areas of supply affected : No City Power customers affected

Praise be City Power Johannesburg!
On the other hand, they are sabotaging the DA winning the next election! Damn!

No seriously, with all the bitching about "they cannot do anything right" (and with good reason of course) CIty Power Johannesburg is either a shining exception or they show they are able to learn and to do so fast when under pressure. And it is good this way. Realistically what is to come is a three party system with the ANC forced toforge a coalition with either the DA or the EFF. And City Power Johannesburg shows that a coalition between DA and ANC can meke sense as the ANC is not as lost as many want to believe. Like it or not it is the only chance for the country.

But here and now: Respect CPJ!

I'm stuck at the stadium all afternoon. At least they'll have power though.

Now where are my ear plugs…

City powers solution to no loadshedding is not something I would want.. you will lose electronics at a rapid rate.

 

[Zewp]

So I'm getting at 6PM, because obviously we're moving to stage 2 by then.

Really? I've heard the echo can be vicious.

Dunno if it's fare collectors or passengers but there's a lot of taxis in town this morning emitting vuvuzela noises this morning
