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

[_TrXtR_]

If I had a dollar for every time someone says this BS I might be able to buy a house.

BS? You think the country it doing well?
Shits gone down the drain long time ago. Everyone was right the ANC and their people turned everything to ****.

Are you flipping kidding me? De Ruyter should ** off and then what - Zuma zombies take over and land us in more crap ? Death wish ?

It is likely precisely because de Ruyter is doing something (like uncovering corruption and theft) that this is happening - the ones he is after are doing everything they can to get him out.
The increased LS is likely a sign that he is slowly slowly winning.

We look over a precipice and from here it feels like a free fall into stage 16

An illegal strike doesn't mean they can be arrested. It's not a real crime.

Blocking access to a national key point is.

What did you exactly claim in the past?

Nothing personally, but my people did, and since the apartheid thing gets hung around my neck I can just as well claim this since I'm being punished for it already.

Its time for De Ruyter to **** off. Simply due to the fact that he has zero urgency and so easily throws around these high load shedding stages as if its nothing.

What exactly did he achieve so far? Hordes of units tripping daily became a normal thing for us under his watch.

Yes, bring back the Guptas. Lot less loadshedding with them around.

 

[Utterly Confused]

Would you invest in South Africa?

nooit

hopefully my UPS for the router and fiber ONT arrives before stage 6....

Would you invest in South Africa?

Yes if it's solar and batteries.

It's interesting that the politicians have been rather quiet this round of load shedding. I am assuming they'll wake up now that it has escalated and will likely get worse. Expect the usual round of pressers.

It will be like the looting spree. Dead quiet from the politicians until everything was doen and dusted and the they started prosecuting people protecting their properties.

It's been a slow but gradual fall. Can't wait for hospital shedding. Geez the whole world is on fire atm is it the apocalypse or something? I can't recall a shittier time, even 2008 was a nothing burger compared to the upcoming turmoil.

It is against the law for workers that are essential services to strike. Like the police, army, nurses etc. But all of them have striked without consequences under ANC rule.

 

[Splinter]

Have I missed the news that Russia is bombing Eskom power units?

Edit: How the fark otherwise do you lose 10 units overnight?

 

[Creag]

Imminent, the end is.

There is a much higher chance of the australians executing a plan to fix the problem, while currently south africa is perpetually stuck in repeated planning phase, before and after setting up committees to launch a commission of inquiry as to why the previous plan didn't work with those previously outsourced exorbitantly priced consultants that look doppelganger similar to the new consultants being brought in, except for the new shiny registered company that isn't even a day old on cipc.

It used to be against the law for workers that are essential services to strike. Like the police, army, nurses etc. But all of them have striked without consequences under ANC rule.
