Eskom loses 10 generating units - brace for Stage 6 power cuts

Ok now the power came back on at 8pm and then it went off again after a minute. Exactly like before. Don't know what's happening anymore. What a mess

Everyone in your area needs to switch heavy loads (geysers/heaters) off during loadshitting, switch them back on after the power has is on for a while.

This is the problem people don't turn it off so in rush and trip

My inverter is set to reconnect after 10 minutes so even if the geyser were to be on at that time it would only pull from the grid after 10 minutes.

Man that was brutal. 4.5 hour outage then a 2.5 hour one a few hours later.

We must have some ANC bigwigs visiting our little village because we have not been shed for 2 days now even though we're on the schedule.
Also noticed some pothole repair going on in the main street, and that only happens when someone high up the party nought is passing through

No power from 16:00-01:00 Good times!
