Eskom load-shedding timetables (and changes) for 6 Dec - 9 Dec 2022

Seems the embedded rodent cANCer cadres at Eskom have stepped up the sabotage so they can big big corrupt money for extra maintenance done in time for Christmas.
Is **** will never change. The corruption that the pigfukks cANCer love so much is here to stay. They in it for themselves, not the general public. I hope he'll has a special place for these vile cANCer pigs

The number of people I see wasting their money on these no-name brand UPS's that are meant for powering down servers and desktops gracefully and NOT for powering things for 2 and a half hours is ridiculous. And then they complain when the thing conks out after 3 months.

How much money would I need to spend if I just wanted to power a gaming PC for 4hrs during load shedding? I haven't done anything yet as I just go and read a book or browse on my phone during load shedding. I have the 20:00 to 0:30 shifts tonight and tomorrow though. It's going to take up most of my free time. Might have to become a morning person for the next few days and wake up at 5am to game.

Grrr, just when I passed on a Black Friday special of 7,2kW inverter and 8 odd kWh of Li battery; all installed, solar panels excluded but to come for R80k. Grrrr, I say.

Ye, it is a pity that the countries future is so bleak. Hopefully enough people vote for changes in the next election and we start with some improvements

Don't hold your breath for that one. They can't understand that it is because of bad governance from the ANC. It is apartheid's fault and therefore they will keep on voting for a completely corrupt and useless party.

Wouldn't waste my money on lead acid for this.

If ministers are entitled to free generators and fuel, then those of us that have invested in alternative energy should be able to claim the costs back from SARS! It is our money after all that is being given away!

Oh ho ho! Tax relief?!? that's a good one!

When is your Netflix comedy special coming out?
 
I hate this loadshedding thing. My suburb was put back on loadshedding with Stage 6 from 12 to continue for another hour after having completed a 2 hour session at 11. NOT. HAPPY.

And tomorrow's sessions are 4 hours long o_O

I'm dead tired of this bull dingis thing.

So stage 6 = R3 billion lost per day, R90 billion if we had Stage 6 for a month,

While all this is happening, the ANC are having a dick-measuring competition.

Bring on the next election.

I mean it's a fun thought, I'd like a mansion and a Ferrari in New York too. Populace is far too uneducated and racially charged to make wise voting decisions. They'll be scooped up by racist politians mouthing off Disney fairytales ad infinitum like they always have.
Did Zimbabwe make wise voting decisions?

Technically they did in 2000, when the election was stolen from the MDC. Zimbabweans have far less patience about the struggle than our local SA brethren.

Meh, too late.
In order to fix something like this you need these things at the very least:
-Time
-Money
-Resources

We don't have the time, we could have maybe had it if they did the right thing years ago and moved to permanent low stage load-shedding and then spent the money we had wisely on doing the needed upgrades and fixes. That ship has sailed. Also, no amount of renewables can save us now, it's grid base load we're lacking and that takes decades to add. Even if we can solve household energy usage... the industry sector is phaarked.

We don't have the money, we just don't. And it's only going to get much, much worse because as the economy tanks the civil servants and the unions are going to burn this place to the ground if they don't get their ever-increasing increases. That's just one example of the money problem, there are probably hundreds by now. Also, even if they did find the money to somehow fix this, we're all going to be debt slaves for the rest of our lives, we're already there.

Finally, there are no -competent- resources on the ground anymore. Doesn't matter if you put the most competent and honest politicians in government, without the needed boots on the ground no idea, no matter how good will or can be implemented. That ship has also sailed.
