That wasn't load shedding. The storm knocked a tree over which took out MV power lines.

Bullshyte, you're part of the Eskom propaganda factory now it seems...

We no longer trust you.

I love how people now call every single power outage "Load Shedding" without even checking what is going on.

Drives me dilly actually..

Have a random outage in the neighbourhood and the Whatsapp group goes nuts about ppl complaining about load shedding and it not being on the schedule. They usually get very sheepish when you point out its actually a fault and not load shedding.

So what does Eskom want, a noddy badge? It's their job to keep the lights on. It's pretty pathetic that 100 days without load shedding is something to celebrate. It shouldn't even be happening in the first place.

Excactly that.

OTOH, I guess it IS a major achievement for a parastatal of the current government ...

ESKOM has nothing to brag about! The biggest worrying factor is that they are still producing less and less power!

100 days, so before 2008 when there was no load shedding we were having what? Perfection?
