@OP, given that we have many of these types of threads opening up, I would suggest that you add the affected date in the title. Some people don't read all the threads.

I had to replace my microwave oven last night after I forgot to switch off the breakers during load shedding. As soon as electricity was restored the microwave sparked and fazzled like Pitbull on top of a ou tannie.

None for me. Oh wait, nope, they're going to upgrade to stage 3 in a bit. Then it's another 18:00 - 20:30 for me. Fourth night in a row.

I'd still rather be without electricity in the mornings. The 18:00 - 20:30 or 20:00 - 22:30 slots I fall in is the worst! :sick:

Eskom have us on a fixed time slot so every second day, be it stage 1/2/3 we get 18:00 to 20:30 in our area, stage 3 though is 18:00 to 20:30 every day.

I appreciate that they think it gives us an opportunity to plan but in reality it helps very little if you only get home at 18:00. Do not have flexi hours at work so sh*t out of luck.
