Eskom load-shedding warning for Tuesday

Power utility Eskom has warned that there is a high probability that load-shedding will need to be implemented on Tuesday evening.

The utility requested the public to reduce the usage of electricity as the power system was under severe pressure.

"A shortage of generation capacity, caused by breakdowns in generation units and delays in others returning to service, has resulted in supply constraints," Eskom stated.

Fires up all lights, TV, aircon, stove, geysers, heaters, hairdryer and charging all the powerbanks. Good luck Eskom!

caused by breakdowns

breakdowns are "Acts of God" and are out of their control, maintenance, however is a "Western concept" and we don't do that kind of thing here

Eskom cannot be saved. They will never have sufficient generation power. This is it. It is game over.

It is hard to reduce load when there is already zero supply...

So a polite way of saying that there will have load shedding and we warned you... OK!

Basically they are a bunch of fscking morons who couldn't organize an orgy in a whore house.

If I go by their Tweets, there is a warning out every other hour for impending doom. This is just another day called Tuesday!
