If I didn't know you were being sarcastic I would have asked for a moment to talk about our lord and saviour overlords and savants, the Chinese and their wonderful new range of vehicles...

Wait... you're telling me you got cut once and you're moaning about "power cuts"? (note the 's'... that's a plural)

See this is what living in the WC does to people. Expectations are far too high.

Not moaning, the article claim they producing more than needed, yet I provided proof from Eskom themselves that they are performing power cuts. So it refutes their claim.

Load reduction is for an entirely different reason. They are punishing those that don't pay

As well the ones that do in the same area.

Guess there's no other way for the crims to feel the pain, but always paid up customers involved that also feel it though.

Sure but generally those that pay are a really small %. Just look at Alex only 11% pay

Sh*t, that's a lot of unpaid electricity; wonder what the national unpaid % is?

Would Eskom have actually been any more efficient or just stolen more money over the years if everyone had paid...food for thought.

That part who knows, but looking at the areas being nailed for load reduction I'm going to guess the paying isn't any higher.
Even if they do, it's illegal vouchers

City Power: Only 11% in Alexandra paying electricity

City Power has removed about 10,000 kg of illegal electricity cables in Alexandra, during its revenue collection operation.

However, Nxumalo said a new problem has emerged. During off-peak periods during the day and the weekend, the grid now sits with over 10,000 MW of excess power.

:X3:

So they refused to use solar and gave us loadshedding during the day instead, and now they are bitter because people got their own solar and aren't buying their overpriced, dirty coal/diesel power anymore.

I mean... your isolated single cut is more than likely just a fault.

Load reduction is also not related to the amount of power they're generating, but instead the draw an individual transformer can handle. Honestly I support load reduction in the theft areas.

If they were routinely load shedding yes, I'd agree then.
