Eskom to hold ‘maintenance festival’ this weekend

[USZA]

They said festival, not fairy tale.

Yeah, a fairy tale would need fairy lights.

 

[Ninja'd]

Still a better festival than Diwali.

Still a better than Diwali.

Diwali would've needed too many lights.

Lights? All I ever see is fireworks.

On the news on RSG radio station they said this morning that due to labour strikes etc. Medupi will only be completed by 2021.

I cant seem to find any articles relating to this. Anybody heard something similar?

Lights? All I ever see is fireworks.

Because of load shedding.

They are going to party like it's 1899.

Fixed it

Seems that Molefe said that the other day.

But it was supposed to come on line in stages - all those stages are woefully late.

Yesterday RSG said that BHP Billingon would be shutting their smelters down untill October.
Last week they said we'd be running on Stage 3 every night untill December.
Yeah...
Pinnacle of journalism. Its at a stage where if my father-in-law says 'RSG News just said...' I interrupt with 'Talk to the hand'.

Yeah Eksdom spokesman on RAdio 2000 said same this morning ....

As for the fester val .... one wonders how Eskom can attempt or dare to put a positive spin on their fekkkup!!
Sick

They have - along with the thieves and killers involved in the Xeno festival managed to slow the economy to a snails pace.

Pretty sure they're saying it'll only be running at full capacity by then. Power stations this size get brought onto the grid in stages.

 

[Devo1]

Thanks for clarifying. Don't trust RSG - Noted.

This load shedding is so depressing

That is how I understood it initially. But the way they reported on it, it sounded like we will only be getting any power from Medupi by 2021. Stupid reporters.

Thanks for clarifying

The way things are going now...I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if we do only get the first bit of electric from Medupi in 2021.

wtf. I need to sort that genie out. sounds like could be rough during this festival this weekend.

What's wrong with it? You just bought it the other day?! :wtf:

Looking for 10w30 oil. Then worried about the petrol can.

Just buy those bottles of two stroke at the engen there close to me. I don't even know what mine's manual said but the thing is working fine with that particular oil.
