Eskom on a roll in preventing load shedding

South Africa has been spared load shedding for a sixth day in a row on Wednesday after Eskom announced it has enough electricity generating capacity.

Now that everything is getting 'fixed', I can assume we're one step closer to a national blackout

Many a true word is spoken in jest

Heading should actually be "Eskom on a roll in providing power"

Heres a thought... Can we convert key strokes into electricity? With all the typing and trolling on the interwebs/work stuffs we should be able to generate a few 1000 MW's

This is not true, there was load shedding in Cape Town yesterday.

True. Saw all the lights go down as I was driving. Close to N1 City.

Here's a cool video timelapse of loadshedding in progress in Cape Town CBD. Watch the difference when power is restored.

awesome, you can go 6 days without the wheels falling off,,,,,,,, excuse me while i go and look for a goat to sacrifice.

I know its not your fault, Thabo Mbeki, the rest of those ANC idiots and clowns, collectively put you in this position, but rather than brag, be humble.

Something really odd going on here...like seriously off.

Initially projections showed round the 27th would have a 4GW shortfall - per Eskom

...then they do a "maintenance festival" which presumably involves taking gear offline

....and then no loadshedding while both of the above apply???

Either they found a good 5GW of magic or someone is lying imo.
